PADROS BLAZQUEZ, Ferran; GUTIERREZ HERNANDEZ, Claudia Yunuén  y  MEDINA CALVILLO, Mayra Areli. Psychometric Properties of Diener's Scale of Satisfaction with Life (SWLS) in a Mexican Population. Av. Psicol. Latinoam. [online]. 2015, vol.33, n.2, pp.223-232. ISSN 1794-4724.  https://doi.org/10.12804/apl33.02.2015.04.

The goal of our study is to establish the psychometric properties of Diener's Scale of Satisfaction with Life in a Mexican population. To perform our study we applied Diener´s Scale of Satisfaction with Life to healthy volunteers from two samples (students, N= 477 and general population, N=301). Our results suggest that the scale has an excellent adjustment to a unifactorial model, as the original one. The scale also has high internal consistency, and high test-retest reliability. We also tested the possible relationships between Diener’s scale and psychological well-being, clinical depression, and positive and negative affect. Empirical data indicate that Diener´s Scale of Satisfaction with Life presents satisfactory validity and reliability. In addition we also present data on the mean score and standard deviation of Diener's scale in the Mexican population.

Palabras clave : satisfaction with life; subjective well-being; reliability; validity; happiness.
