Objetivo: Tradução e validação da versão breve do Inventário de Flexibilidade Psicológica Multidimensional (MPFI-24) para a população portuguesa. Métodos: A amostra foi constituída por 650 participantes, com idades entre os 18 e os 74 anos. Os participantes preencheram um protocolo online composto por um questionário sociodemográfico, o Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory-24 (MPFI-24), a Psy-Flex, o Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) e o Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF). Resultados: A análise fatorial confirmatória do MPFI-24 mostrou a plausabilidade do modelo de dois fatores de ordem superior com seis fatores de primeira ordem de Flexibilidade Psicológica (FP) e seis fatores de primeira ordem de Inflexibilidade Psicológica (IP). O MPFI-24 mostrou uma adequada fidedignidade, com valores alfa superiores a 0,70 nos índices globais e em todos os fatores. Revelou ainda uma boa estabilidade temporal. A FP mostrou uma associação positiva com a flexibilidade psicológica, avaliada pela Psy-Flex e com a perceção de saúde mental (MHC-SF) e uma associação negativa com estados emocionais negativos (PHQ-4). A IP revelou o padrão oposto, sendo todas as correlações moderadas e significativas. A idade mostrou uma associação positiva com a FP e negativa com a IP. Não foram encontradas diferenças de género para os dois indicadores globais. Conclusões: O MPFI-24 demonstrou ser um inventário válido e fidedigno para avaliar a FP e IP em adultos da população portuguesa. Este instrumento pode ser utilizado em contexto clínico e de investigação, sendo um contributo relevante na avaliação de intervenções que visam aumentar a flexibilidade psicológica.
