AUNE, Sofía Esmeralda; ABAL, Facundo Juan Pablo e ATTORRESI, Horacio Félix. Argentine version of the Happiness Scale from Lima. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.13, n.2, pp.201-214. ISSN 1794-9998. https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2017.0002.05.
This article presents an adaptation of the Happiness Scale from Lima, designed by Alarcón, for Argentine adults. The scale was applied to 1004 individuals (65% women) with a mean age of 31. An exploratory factor analysis was carried out on the basis of a polychoric correlation matrix using the method of non-weighted least squares and promax rotation. Two subscales were kept out of the four included in the original version, and one of them, Positive Sense of Life, was itself divided into two dimensions. The adapted version was made up of 12 items divided into three subscales explaining 69% of variance: External Perspective of Sense of Life, Internal Perspective of Sense of Life and Life Satisfaction. Evidence was obtained of convergent validity, and internal consistency of the subscales was at least acceptable according to DeVellis criteria.
