This paper aimed to adapt the Subjective Happiness Scale to Brazil and gather evidences of construct validity to the scale. Participants were 600 subjects (50% men), aged from 18 to 70 years old (M = 30.1; SD = 10.6). Sample was split to cross-validate the results. Exploratory factor analysis (n1 =...

Participants were 600 subjects (50% men), aged from 18 to 70 years old (M = 30.1; SD = 10.6). Sample was split to cross-validate the results. Exploratory factor analysis (n1 = 300) achieved a reliable single-factor solution, with all items loading satisfactorily on the factor. Confirmatory factor analysis (n2 = 300) corroborated the singlefactor solution with excellent goodness-of-fit indexes. Evidences of convergent validity are also provided with three related constructs: self-esteem, life satisfaction and hope. The adapted scale showed strong evidences of validity and seems appropriate to evaluate subjective happiness on Brazilian adults.El objetivo de este artículo fue adaptar la Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva para el Brasil y recolectar evidencias de validez de constructo para la escala. Los participantes fueron 600 sujetos (50 % hombres), con edades entre 18 y 70 años (M = 30.1; DE = 10.6). La muestra fue dividida para realizar la validación cruzada de los resultados. En el análisis factorial exploratorio (n1 = 300) se encontró una solución unifactorial fiable, con todos los ítems presentando carga factorial satisfactoria en el factor. El análisis factorial confirmatorio (n2 = 300) corroboró la solución unifactorial con adecuados índices de ajuste. Se presentan evidencias de validez convergente con tres constructos similares: autoestima, satisfacción con la vida y esperanza. La versión adaptada presentó fuertes evidencias de validez, siendo considerada apropiada para evaluar la felicidad subjetiva en adultos brasileños.PDFapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfspaPontificia Universidad Javerianahttp://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/3762/7344http://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/3762/7061http://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/view/3762/6774http://revistas.javeriana.edu.co/index.php/revPsycho/article/downloadSuppFile/3762/778Universitas Psychologica; Vol. 13, Núm. 1 (2014); 17-24Escala de Felicidad Subjetiva, adaptación de instrumento, psicología positiva, psicometría.Subjective Happiness Scale, test adaptation, positive psychology, psychometrics.Validation and Psychometric Properties of the Brazilian Version of the Subjective Happiness ScaleValidación y propiedades psicométricas de la versión brasileña de la Escala de Felicidad Subjetivahttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Artículo de revistahttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/article10554/32494oai:repository.javeriana.edu.co:10554/324942023-03-29 14:28:10.053Repositorio Institucional - Pontificia Universidad Javerianarepositorio@javeriana.edu.co
