The Arousal Predisposition Scale (APS) is a questionnaire intended to measure individual differences in arousability. In the current work, our aim was to present the initial psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the APS. Three hundred forty-five undergraduate medical students from both genders were enrolled. All participants filled out a set of questionnaires\u2014which contained the APS\u2014at the end of their lectures and out of the evaluation period. The APS showed good internal consistency (\u03b1\u2009=\u2009.85) and discriminated individuals with extreme scores. Further, in general, the scale discriminated as well both genders pertaining to the individual items and total score. In terms of scale structure, two related factors were extracted (F1\u2009=\u2009emotional reactivity and F2\u2009=\u2009trait anxiety). Significant associations among APS and other sleep and psychological self-report variables were also observed. The APS seems to be a reliable and valid instrument to assess self-reported physiological arousability, at least in a sample of young adults. The two-factor composition will require more studies to be replicated in similar groups and, particularly, in clinical samples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0033294117742654","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,19]],"date-time":"2017-11-19T23:34:21Z","timestamp":1511134461000},"page":"974-991","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Portuguese Version of the Arousal Predisposition Scale: Preliminary Evidence for a Two-Factor Structure in a Nonclinical Sample"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"121","author":[{"given":"Daniel","family":"Ruivo Marques","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Education and Psychology, University of Aveiro, Portugal; Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Life Sciences (IBILI), University of Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Ana Allen","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, University of Coimbra, Portugal; CINEICC\u2013Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o do N\u00facleo de Estudos e Interven\u00e7\u00e3o Cognitivo-Comportamental\/Research & Development Unit (FCT): Cognitive and Behavioural Center for Research and Intervention, Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria Helena Pinto","family":"de Azevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"41","key":"bibr1-0033294117742654","first-page":"1","volume":"7","author":"Altena E.","year":"2017","journal-title":"Brain Sciences"},{"key":"bibr2-0033294117742654","volume-title":"International classification of sleep disorders: Diagnostic and coding manual","author":"American Academy of Sleep Medicine","year":"2014","edition":"3"},{"key":"bibr3-0033294117742654","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr4-0033294117742654","first-page":"e157","volume":"19","author":"Azevedo M.
