• The Social Support Satisfaction Scale (SSSS) was submitted to an adaptation to Portuguese language. Psychometric qualities of the SSSS were assessed in a sample of 1,023 university and college students from Brazil and Portugal. From the results obtained, we propose a modified version of the SSSS with 12 items that assess four dimensions (Satisfaction with Friendship, Intimacy, Satisfaction with Family and Social Activities). The modified version of the SSSS demonstrated good reliability; factorial validity; and concurrent, divergent and discriminant validity. Convergent valid is in the limit of what is acceptable. There was invariance of the factorial weights in the Portuguese and Brazilian samples, allowing its use for assessing "Social Support Satisfaction" in higher education students in both countries.
