PADROS BLAZQUEZ, Ferran; GUTIERREZ HERNANDEZ, Claudia Yunuén e 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.
