| Sumario: | Aim: To test the Spanish-adapted version of Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scale in Argentine population and analyze its internal consistency, validity evidence based on internal structure, and its relationship with other variables. Method: Two groups of participants were studied: one consisting of 3228 Argentine adults (general population) aged 20-83 years (M = 42.21; SD = 13.17), 81.9 % female, and another group of 153 university students aged 18-57 years (M = 26.71; SD = 7.53), 85 % female. Results: A confirmatory factor analysis revealed a good fit for Ryff's model, with appropriate factor loadings. Reliability was assessed using composite reliability, with results indicating good reliability across all dimensions. Correlations were analyzed with theoretically related variables, including anxiety, depression, and personality, revealing statistically significant correlations in the expected direction. Conclusion: This version of the instrument demonstrated a very good fit, good reliability, and previously described associations of the dimensions with variables such as anxiety, depression, and personality. This version is considered suitable for use in the Argentine population as a tool for studying psychological well-being from a eudaimonic perspective, both in research and clinical settings. |
