Abstract

MARTINEZ, EVA ROSA et al. CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN MODELS PROPOSED FOR THE PURPOSE-IN-LIFE TEST IN A SAMPLE OF SPANISH UNDERGRADUATES. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.1, pp.67-76. ISSN 0123-9155.

In recent years several papers have examined the structure of the Purpose-In-Life Test, which measures the achievement of meaning in life from the approach of logotherapy, having found heterogeneous results. The aim of this study was to test different models proposed in previous literature with a sample of 766 Spanish undergraduates (220 males, 546 females) from two universities of the Valencia Community (Spain), aged between 18 and 36 (M = 21.96; SD = 3.56). Confirmatory factor analysis of these models was conducted. The adjustment values and the factorial structures obtained were compared, finding empirical support for three bi-factorial models.

Keywords : Purpose-In-Life Test; Logotherapy; Confirmatory Factor Analysis; Structural Models.
