Validación de la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida y su relación con las dimensiones del Autoconcepto en universitarios peruanos
Resumen
La satisfacción con la vida ha sido objeto de innumerables investigaciones, la mayoría de las cuales la han evaluado con la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida. Recientemente, se ha puesto interés en su relación con el autoconcepto, que parece depender del contexto cultural. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron conocer las propiedades de la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida en una muestra de estudiantes peruanos, y estudiar la relación de la satisfacción vital con el autoconcepto en este mismo contexto. Se recogió una muestra de 527 estudiantes universitarios de Lima (Perú). En primer lugar, se estimó y evaluó un análisis factorial confirmatorio, y se llevaron a cabo estimaciones de fiabilidad de la escala y sus ítems. Posteriormente, se puso a prueba un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales MIMIC, en el que el autoconcepto predecía la satisfacción con la vida. Los resultados ofrecen evidencia de buenas propiedades psicométricas de la escala en su uso en estudiantes peruanos, y comprueban la relación de este constructo con las dimensiones académica, familiar y física del autoconcepto.
