“…In Mexico it was conducted a validation study of the scale with three-response options (disagree, intermediate, and agree) in a national sample of 13,220 adults above the age of 50 years, finding adequate internal consistency, criterion validity, and confirmation of the one-factor structure ( 42 ). In Colombia, different variants of the SWLS have been used in different populations and contexts ( 43 – 45 ). This motivated another authors ( 46 ) to conduct an initial validation study with a sample of 121 University students using a version with seven response options ( 32 ), but drafted in terms of satisfaction-dissatisfaction (from very dissatisfied to very satisfied), which limits its applicability in cross-cultural studies.…”

Introduction: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin in 1985, comprises five items with seven response options in terms of agreement–disagreement. Recently, there has been a suggestion to reduce the response options of the SWLS to optimize its applicability in different cultural contexts.Objective: The study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the SWLS with five response options in the Colombian population. Specifically, we studied the dimensionality, invariance by gender and age (among a group of adolescents and emerging adults under 25 years and a group of adults of intermediate age and established adulthood under 59 years), convergent validity (with optimism), and divergent (with pessimism) and concurrent validity with other measures of well-being (flourishing, positive, and negative affects).Methodology: This project was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of the general population. Participants were included if they identified themselves as Colombian and were at least 18 years of age. The final sample comprised 1,255 participants. The average age was 25.62 years (SD = 8.60) ranging from 18 to 67 years of age, and 35.8% of the participants were men. In addition to SWLS, we used the Flourishing Scale (FS), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE).Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.842), composite reliability (0.851), and average variance extracted (0.537) showed very good values. CFA was conducted to test the one-dimensional structure of FS, showing excellent goodness of fit [χ(5)2 = 15.774, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.992, TLI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.042, 90% RMSEA CI (0.020, 0.066), and SRMR = 0.016]. The correlations calculated among life satisfaction (SWLS) with flourishing (FS), positive and negative affects (SPANE), optimism, and pessimism (LOT-R) were statistically significant and as expected. Configural, metric, and scalar invariance across gender and age were confirmed. Percentiles were provided for the total score and for age.Conclusions: The SWLS with five response options has adequate psychometric properties in the Colombian population, and the use of this version (with 5 response options) is recommended due to its greater applicability.

“…Oliver et al ( 2018) realizaron la validación de la SWLS y su relación con las dimensiones de autoconcepto en universitarios peruanos, encontrando consistencia interna de la escala, y el AFC da como resultado la estructura unidimensional de la escala. Hernández et al (2018), efectuaron un estudio de validez de constructo y confiabilidad de la SWLS, en escolares de zonas rurales y urbanas de Colombia, para lo cual realizaron AFE y AFC, análisis de confiabilidad y consistencia interna. Los resultados indican que la escala es unifactorial y cuenta con adecuados índices de validez y confiabilidad para ser utilizada en escolares de zonas rurales y urbanas del Departamento de Cundinamarca.…”

Esta investigación tuvo como propósito analizar las evidencias de validez de la estructura interna y confiabilidad/precisión de la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida (SWLS) en una muestra de 948 participantes del Estado de México, de los cuales 585 son mujeres y 363 hombres, con un rango de 15 a 78 años. Se empleó la swls de Diener et al. (1985), de cinco reactivos. La aplicación se realizó usando lápiz y papel (instrumento impreso), y la participación fue voluntaria, anónima y confidencial. Se llevaron a cabo un Análisis Factorial Exploratorio (AFE) y un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC). Para obtener los índices de confiabilidad del instrumento se calculó el alfa de Cronbach y el omega de McDonald. Los resultados confirman la propuesta del modelo de Diener para medir la satisfacción con la vida y muestra la confiabilidad y precisión de los resultados del instrumento con una varianza total explicada de 58.33% y un alfa de Cronbach y omega de McDonald de .865; los valores de ajuste y desajuste del modelo fueron adecuados.
