Abstract

CASSARETTO BARDALES, Mónica  and  MARTINEZ URIBE, Patricia. Validation of the Scales of Well-being of Flourishing and Feelings. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.19-31. ISSN 1657-8961.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javerianacali.PPSI15-1.VEFA.

Objective. The present study analyzes, the psychometric properties of the Flourishing and Positive and Negative Feelings scales proposed by Diener et al. (2010) to evaluate wellbeing. Two Studies were carried out with this purpose. Method. The first study, of 656 university, students analyzed the reliability and factorial structure of the scales. The second, of 201 university students, calculated the convergent and divergent validity of the scales with other measures of wellbeing, and carried out a confirmatory factorial analysis. Results. The results of both studies showed adequate psychometric properties in the three scales. The reliability was 0.89 for flourishing and 0.91 and 0.87 for positive and negative experience coefficients respectively. The variance in the exploratory factorial analysis was 52.82% 69.49% and 61.56% for the three scales. The correlation between the Flourishing and Positive Affections scales was positive and significant with Optimism (LOT-R), Positive Affection of the PAPAS, Satisfaction With Life (SWLS) and Wellbeing (Bieps-A), and negative and significant with Negative Affection. Conclusion. The confirmatory factorial analyses showed adequate indexes for Flourishing and for Affectivity. These results confirm the validity and usefulness of these scales in the wellbeing assessment for a Hispanic population.
