Abstract
WAIGEL, Nicole C. and LEMOS, Viviana N.. Psychometric Properties of PERMA Profiler Scale in Argentinian Adolescents. int.j.psychol.res. [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.1, pp.103-113. Epub June 20, 2023. ISSN 2011-2084. https://doi.org/10.21500/20112084.5737.
Aim.
To adapt and validate the PERMA Profiler Scale (Butler & Kern, 2016) for Argentinian adolescents.
Method.
The items were reviewed by 6 expert judges and 21 adolescents. The sample consisted of 421 adolescents (M = 14.9; SD = 1.75). The content validity and the discrimination capacity of the items were assessed. Afterwards, the structure of the scale was analyzed, as well as the internal consistency and the concurrent validity.
Results.
All the items obtained an Aiken’s V between .8 and 1 and were discriminatory. The factor analysis confirmed the five-dimension structure (CFI = .94, T LI = .92; RMSEA = .08, SRMR = .04). An Alpha of .92 was obtained for the full scale and satisfactory levels were obtained for the subscales. The correlations for concurrent validity were significant and in line with what was theoretically expected.
Conclusion.
This adaptation enables the assessment of flourishing in a practical way.
