Dinheiro no Brasil: um estudo comparativo do significado do dinheiro entre as regiões geográficas brasileiras
(2002-12) MOREIRA, Alice da Silva
This study compared the meaning of money that prevail in Brazilian Regions using the Money Meaning Scale (MMS), composed by Inequality, Culture, Power, Progress, Detachment, Conflict, Stability, Pain and Pleasure Factors. The study was carried out with a sample of 760 subjects, 60% women, with varied ages, occupation and income, and more than five years living in the place. Results indicated significant differences in all components, except Pleasure and Pain, and differential patterns: higher Stability in the North, higher Conflict and Detachment in the Northeast, lower Stability and Power in the Federal District, lower Power and Conflict in the South, and in the Southeast higher Power, Inequality, Culture, Pleasure and Pain, and lower Detachment. A separated exam of the Southeast showed a higher internal diversity than among Brazilian Regions. These results are discussed considering historic-cultural aspects and stereotypy. It indicated that MMS is sensitive to discriminate meaning of money profiles.

Escala de significado do dinheiro: desenvolvimento e validação
(1999-08) MOREIRA, Alice da Silva; TAMAYO, Alvaro
The lack of reliable measurement tools has delayed the development of psychological research about money and related phenomena. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a Meaning of Money Scale. To develop the scale, preliminary data were collected using a heterogeneous sample of 61 subjects and organised through procedure including content, combinatory, semantic, by judges, and based on social sciences theoretical analysis. This resulted in a 10 factors hypothetical model. The scale was validated in a heterogeneous sample with 1464 subjects from all Brazilian regions. Results pointed to an orthogonal multifactorial structure, separately confirmed to men and women, and composed by 9 components: Cronbach alpha ranged from 0,70 to 0,88 to 6 components, and the others were 0,66, 0,67 and 0,57. Comparing to previous studies, this scale presents advances and generates new possibilities to psychological research about money related subjects.
