Subjective Indicators of Personal Well-Being among Adolescents. Performance and Results for Different Scales in Latin-Language Speaking Countries: A Contribution to the International Debate

Abstract: Different single-item and multiple-item scales are used as subjective indicators of well-being in the international arena. However, very few cross-cultural studies exist into subjective indicators of well-being among adolescent populations. In this study, three different multi-item scales, variations of these scales and several single items -all of them previously used separately in international research-were tested together on 12 to 16-year-old adolescents in 4 different countries with Latin-based languages … Show more

“…In Figure 1, the standardized factor weights can be observed, including three error covariance's, as shown in previous research (Casas et al, 2012a): (a) satisfaction with interpersonal relationships and satisfaction with the groups to which they belong, (b) satisfaction with the quality of life and satisfaction with one's own achievements, and (c) the level of satisfaction with life and satisfaction with health. The model showed a good fi t with the data from both countries separately and also with the combined data, tested as a multigroup model (Table 3).…”

“…Assim, optou-se por utilizar, nesse estudo, outros instrumentos de bem-estar adaptados e validados para adolescentes (Bedin & Sarriera, 2014;Casas et al, 2012).…”

“…Um estudo recente realizado com uma amostra de diferentes países utilizando essas duas escalas em conjunto com a escala de Satisfação com a Vida (SWLS, Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) indicou que, embora essas escalas avaliem domínios diferentes do bem-estar, apresentam altas correlações umas com as outras (Casas et al, 2012). Ressalta-se, ainda, que, embora os quatro instrumentos escolhidos (BMLSS, PWI, HOL e OLS) avaliem o bem-estar de uma perspectiva hedônica, de satisfação com a vida e felicidade, esperava-se que a escala EBP apresentasse correlações significativas com esses instrumentos.…”

“…El PWI utiliza una escala del 0 (cero) al 10 (diez), en la cual el 0 corresponde a no estar satisfecho y el 10 corresponde al más alto nivel de satisfacción. El instrumento ha sido adaptado y utilizado en 51 países, incluida la Argentina (Casas et al, 2012;Tonón, 2012). La consistencia interna para esta muestra es α = .88.…”
