Abstract
SALAZAR ESTRADA, José Guadalupe; GUTIERREZ STRAUSS, Ana María; ARANDA BELTRAN, Carolina and RAMIREZ RAMIREZ, Silvia. Psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Life Scale, in workers of the manufacturing industry. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.3, pp.197-209. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.35.3.150.15.
This study reports the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Satisfaction Scale with Life (SWLS) in a sample of workers in the manufacturing industry in Jalisco, Mexico (N = 774). The scale (SWLS) is a measure designed to assess subjective life satisfaction. The sample was proportional 32 industries participating of the three industrial parks. Results of factor analysis showed that the scale behaves as a factor structure, explaining total variance of 66%, with high factor loadings for each element (between 0.74 and 0.86). The internal consistency of the SWLS (a = 0.82) was high in relation to the five items of the scale. Factorial analysis showed that SWLS had adequate concurrent validity.
