Abstract

This study aims to determine the structural validity, internal consistency, and behavior of the scores of the Scale of Psychological Well-being (PWE). It was carried out with 270 young people between 20- and 25-years old living in Medellin, Colombia. As results, it shows the validation process of the PWE, the 50 items that make it up, through statistical consistency, from the analysis of Cronbach's Alpha, which was 0.938, demonstrating adequate consistency. An exploratory factor analysis was performed, calculating the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) index, which was 0.912. Factors with an eigenvalue greater than 1 were chosen. Subsequently, a confirmatory factorial analysis was carried out, finding ten factors with high coincidence with the four subscales of the PWE.
