Role salience refers to the importance of a role in relation to other roles performed by a person in his/her social context. The purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the Brazilian version of the Salience Inventory, called Inventário de Saliência. The SI is composed of 170 items, which evaluate salience through three dimensions: Participation, Commitment and Value expectation in relation to five roles: Study, Work, Community services, Home and Family, and Free Time. The sample was composed of 388 women and 111 men, 21 to 65 years of age, with higher education. The results offer evidence supporting the SI construct validity and provide a normative base for an adult sample with higher educational level. Future studies should compare the results of this sample with diverse samples. The results are compared with the original study in terms of means and salience rates. Finally, study limitations and suggestions for further studies are discussed.Downloads
