Resumo

A relação dos indicadores com o respectivo construto pode ser considerada de causa ou efeito. Considerando que o construto possa ser definido como formativo ou reflexivo, dependendo da análise teórica que antecede a análise estatística dos dados, torna-se fulcral compreender este processo. A importância desta conceitualização teórica é justificada pelas implicações na definição e análise do modelo estrutural. Neste sentido, definiu-se dois objetivos para este artigo: i) através de uma revisão da literatura, apresentar como se desenvolve um processo de validação teórica dos construtos no âmbito da modelagem de equações estruturais; e ii) desenvolver uma aplicação prática do processo a um modelo estrutural do comportamento do aleitamento materno no âmbito do marketing social. Foram ainda considerados os seguintes pressupostos: i) a intenção precede o comportamento voluntário; ii) a intenção é cognitiva; iii) a intenção é influenciada por vários fatores, o que permite ser avaliada por diferentes modelos, em função do contexto, o que quer dizer que a definição teórica deve ser o mais assertiva possível. Por fim, ressaltar a dificuldade de encontrar um único modelo para ser aplicado a todos os comportamentos.
