El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Gratitude Questionnaire – 6 (McCullough y Emmons, 2002) en población chilena. En el estudio participaron 602 personas distribuidos en cuotas de sexo y edad. En primer lugar, se estimó la confiabilidad y validez de constructo de la escala. En segundo lugar, se analizaron indicadores de validez basados en la convergencia y divergencia con los instrumentos: Cuestionario de los Cinco Grandes, Escala de Satisfacción Vital, Escala de Afectos Positivos y Negativos y el Test de Orientación Vital Revisado. Los resultados indican adecuación del cuestionario para su utilización en la evaluación de la gratitud en población chilena.
This study aimed to adapt the Flourishing Scale to a Chilean high school context and provide evidence of its validity. Data were collected from 1,348 students (52% girls) from three different Chilean schools. The results of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported a one–factor solution, multiple–group CFA supported gender invariance, and structural equation model indicated that the FS is related to positive and negative academic feelings. Overall, the evidence indicates that the Flourishing Scale adapted to the high school context is an instrument that produces valid and reliable scores in our high school Chilean sample.
