| Abstract: | Satisfaction with life is a complex construct, with many implications for overall well‐being. This study explored the psychometric characteristics of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) scores on Mexican dialect Spanish‐speaking participants who endured the 2017 Mexican earthquake. Participants completed linguistically and culturally adapted versions of the SWLS, Flourishing Scale, Meaning in Life Questionnaire, Spiritual Fortitude, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Confirmatory factor analysis of the SWLS on the Mexican sample supported the unidimensional model with mostly excellent fit statistics. Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency was 0.90 for the current sample, and scores displayed mostly medium to large effect size convergent correlations with comparison measures. A measurement invariance analysis comparing male and female responses produced weak invariance. These results help validate the use of the Mexican dialect Spanish adaptation of the SWLS in a sample of earthquake survivors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
