Abstract

DOMINGUEZ-LARA, Sergio et al. Structural analysis of the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale among Mexican college students. liber. [online]. 2019, vol.25, n.2, pp.267-285. ISSN 1729-4827.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24265/liberabit.2019.v25n2.09.

Objectives: This paper aimed to analyze the internal structure of the Spanish version of the Ryff ’s psychological well-being scale (PWBS-E) among college students (n = 1700, 54.75% females, Mage = 19.23) who attend a public institution located in Veracruz, Mexico. Method: The internal structure of the PWBS-E was assessed using the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA), while the reliability of the construct was estimated with the ù coefficient and the reliability of the scores, with the α coefficient. Results: Suggested that a short and unidimensional structure (19 items) provides greater empirical support. In addition, a method factor associated with inverted items in multidimensional models was evidenced. Regarding the reliability, acceptable indicators were found in both levels (construct and scores). Conclusions: This paper addresses both the findings and practical implications of the short version of the PWBS-E among college students.

Keywords : validity; reliability; ESEM; PWBS; wellbeing; college students.
