Measurement with context-standardized tools represents a quality factor for evidence-based assessment. The Ryff Psychological Well-Being scale and its adaptations in the Hispanic population lack evidence of validity for the surviving population of the armed conflict. The present study analyzes the psychometric properties and estimates the cut-off point, sensitivity and specificity of the Ryff Psychological Well-being scale. An instrumental quantitative study was conducted with 297 survivors between 18 and 78 years ( =41.83 S=14.76) and 200 participants from the general population between 18 and 69 years (  =32.68 S=12.20). A scale of 22 items resulting from psychometric analyses is proposed. The confirmatory factor analysis validates the theoretical proposal of the six dimensions proposed by the authors. The Cronbach alpha and McDonald’s ω coefficients were .69 and .70. The set cut-off point was 89.5, with a sensitivity of .92 and specificity of .62. The findings open a new path of exploration in the field of study given that there are no validation investigations that compare groups with particular characteristics in Colombia.
