PINEDA ROA, Carlos Alejandro y CHAPARRO CLAVIJO, Reynel Alexander. Psychometric Study of the Ryff Psychological Well-Being Scales in Young Colombian Adults. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.45-55. ISSN 1657-8961.
Objective. To evaluate the construct validity, discriminant and internal consistency of the six Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWBS) of Ryff in young adults in Bogotá and Tunja. Method. This was an instrumental study of psychometric nature in which 727 participants selected by non-probabilistic sampling (age: M = 22.5, SD = 5.49) completed the PWBS of 39 items available in Spanish. The construct validity was evaluated by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), McDonald's Omega reliability (Ω), and discriminant validity using means contrast tests for independent groups. Results. The CFA showed similar adjustment indices with either six dimensions (X2 = 1649.40, df = 362, p = 0.00, CFI = 0.95; AGFI = 0.95; RMSEA = 0.066, CI90%, 0.062 -0.069; SRMR = 0.077) as dimensions six and a second-order factor, called well-being. Ω yielded values between 0.60 and 0.84. The reduced version of 29 items has a better fit and acceptable levels of reliability. The PWBS discriminates according to educational level, sex and socioeconomic status in several of the six dimensions. Conclusion. The PWBS is appropriate for the evaluation of psychological well-being in the population of young Colombian adults.
