摘要
The objective of this paper is to develop a Multidimensional Flourishing Scale and to study its psychometric validation. The paper includes three different studies. Study 1 analyzes the development of the item for each dimension, the initial factor structure (using parallel analysis and exploratory factor analysis), and the internal consistency. In Study 2, the confirmatory factor analysis was used to confirm the scale structure, and also the convergent validity was analyszed. Finally, in Study 3, the construct validity and stability of the Multidimensional Flourishing Scale across six countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Portugal and Spain) are studied. The analyses presented herein show that the scale is psychometrically valid, and that has a strong internal consistency reliability coefficient for the entire scale and for each subscale in the different studies presented and the six countries included in the third study.
