ResumenObjetivo. Evaluar la confi abilidad y la validez de constructo y discriminante, de las seis Escalas de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff (EBP) en adultos jóvenes de Bogotá y Tunja. Método. Estudio instrumental en el que 727 participantes seleccionados por muestreos no probabilísticos (M edad = 22.5, DE = 5.49) diligenciaron la EBP de 39 ítems. La validez de constructo fue evaluada por medio del análisis factorial confi rmatorio (AFC), la confi abilidad mediante omega de McDonald (Ω) y la validez discriminante a través de pruebas de contraste de medias para grupos independientes. Resultados. El AFC arrojó índices de ajuste similares tanto con seis dimensiones (X 2 = 1649.40, gl = 362, p = 0.00; CFI = 0.95; AGFI = 0.95; RMSEA = 0.066, IC90%, 0.062 -0.069; SRMR = 0.077) como con seis dimensiones y un factor de segundo orden, denominado bienestar. El omega arrojó valores entre 0.60 y 0.84, aunque la versión reducida de 29 ítems presentó un mejor ajuste y aceptables niveles de confi abilidad. Conclusión. La EBP es apropiada para la evaluación del bienestar psicológico en población de adultos jóvenes colombianos, en particular, al discriminar por nivel educativo, sexo y estatus socioeconómico en varias de las seis dimensiones.Palabras clave. Bienestar psicológico, estudios de validación, adultos jóvenes.

This contribution explores the historical developments of transnational lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) psychology in Colombia, the Philippines, Russia, and South Africa in relationship to U.S. LGBT psychology. LGBTI psychology in these diverse contexts share commonalities but also have important variations in their development and focus within LGBTI concerns. The International Psychology Network for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Issues (IPsyNet) provides a model for international professional psychology collaboration and linkage on behalf of advocacy for LGBTI rights and sexual orientation and gender identity and/or expression concerns. Although there is the risk of transnational LGBTI psychology(ies) reproducing European-North American (Euro-N.A.) "homonationalism" and contributing to neocolonization, these case examples illustrate the dynamic potential of transnational LGBTI psychology, including the possibilities of psychology to develop LGBTI psychologies drawing from indigenous as well as international structures and platforms, influencing Euro-N.A. models in the process. Finally, this article describes the promise and the limitations of transnational LGBTI psychology, including the role of human rights frameworks, as well as advocacy within professional psychology.

Se realizó la validación cultural del Inventario de Reactividad Interpersonal (IRI), traduciendo al español y revisando las propiedades psicométricas en sus modelos de dos factores, cuatro factores y cuatro factores + un factor de segundo orden. A través de muestreo no probabilístico participaron 386 estudiantes universitarios (edades entre 18 y 30 años, M=20.2; DE=2.6). La confiabilidad de las dimensiones resultó adecuada (Alfa de Cronbach 0.66 < α < 0.78; Omega de McDonald 0.70 < Ω < 0.80). El Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio mostró indicadores con buen ajuste al modelo de cuatro factores y cuatro factores más un factor de segundo orden e insuficientes en el modelo de dos factores. Las mujeres mostraron mayores puntajes en las dimensiones afectivas, mientras que los hombres mostraron mayores puntajes en las dimensiones cognitivas. La versión del IRI reducida a 22 ítems conserva buenas propiedades psicométricas en la población joven colombiana.

Despite the numerous advances towards the recognition of LGBT rights worldwide, real equity has not yet been achieved. It is therefore necessary to take into consideration not only the socio‐political context but also the concrete practices that have been developed in specific settings. The university represents an important scene, which generates knowledge and development in societies. This study, from a Liberating Community Psychology approach, analysed five good practices related to LGBT issues and psychology placed in four countries with different socio‐cultural backgrounds: Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia and Spain. The results from an ecological SWOT analysis—based on interviews and questionnaires with diverse stakeholders and experts—showed the internal weaknesses (e.g., lack of resources) and strengths (e.g., high promoters' commitment, students acceptance) of the good practices, as well as their external opportunities and threats in the academic (e.g., social status of the university, curricula gaps), but also in the socio‐political context (e.g., protecting policies, attacks from conservative sectors). Additionally, action‐research proposals to improve equity in/from universities were suggested by stakeholders and prioritized by experts through a Delphi panel. The main theoretical and practical contributions are discussed. Please refer to the Supplementary Material section to find this article's Community and Social Impact Statement.
