RESUMO

Diffuse and concentrated attention are the most investigated types of attention in educational, traffic, clinic and organizational psychology. The present study aimed at the construction and investigation of the construct validity of four attention tests. Several samples of subjects were used in different phases of the study. In the construction phase, these tests were subjected to a semantical analysis, judges analysis and pilot-study. The construct validity of the new tests was investigated by means of correlation with a test measuring the same construct. Results showed that the two new tests of diffuse attention have good correlation between themselves, but revealed that the correlation with the TADIM_2 (Test of diffuse attention for drivers) is poor. However, the confirmatory factorial analysis showed that the new tests represent the diffuse attention better than TADIM_2. On the other hand, the two constructed tests of concentrated attention showed high correlation with the AC (concentrated attention), confirming its construct validity.
