Portuguese term or phrase: escala

É uma forma de estudo. Um método.

Ao se reunir os 99 métodos utilizados nas produções científicas e acadêmicas analisadas, verificou-se a formação de seis grandes blocos: Desenho, Entrevista, Escala, Questionário, Silhueta e Variável Antropométrica (VA). Diante disso, constatou-se que a Entrevista, com 30% de utilização, é a forma mais freqüente para se avaliar questões relativas à auto-imagem, enquanto que a Silhueta, com apenas 4%, é o protocolo menos privilegiado nos estudos analisados, como revela a figura 1.0.
