    The present study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Retrospective Family Unpredictability Scale (RetroFUS) in a sample of Portuguese university students with the Rasch model. The results indicated that scale items are well fitted to a latent unidimensional structure, as required by Rasch modeling. The response scale showed proper functioning, that can be refined, allowing people and item parameters to be estimated with high precision. DIF analyses confirmed no differences between genders in the results. Limitations of this study and the psychometric implications of its results are discussed, providing suggestions for future research.

    O presente estudo analisa as propriedades psicométricas da Retrospective Family Unpredictability Scale (Retro-FUS) numa amostra de universitários portugueses, com o modelo de Rasch. Os resultados indicam que os itens ajustam a uma estrutura latente unidimensional, pressuposto requerido pelo modelo. A escala de resposta revelou funcionamento adequado, mas refinável, permitindo que os parâmetros de pessoas e itens fossem estimados com elevada precisão. Análises DIF confirmaram a inexistência de diferenças nos resultados relativas ao género. São discutidas as limitações do estudo e as implicações psicométricas dos resultados para futuras investigações.
