Propiedades Psicométricas de la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico y su Estructura Factorial en Universitarios Chilenos

the study analyzes the psychometric properties and factor structure of ryff？s (1989) psychological well-being scale adapted by van dierendonck (2004). the scale was applied to a sample of 691 chilean university students averaging 21.4 years old (sd 2.6 years). the highest reliability among sub-scales is self-acceptance (.79) and the lowest purpose in life (.54). confirmatory factor analysis shows an rmsea of .068 which was deemed acceptable, a cfi value of .95, an nnfi of .94 and an srmr of .060. we conclude that the model fit is adequate, so it may be used on the chilean university student population.
