| Sumario: | The aim of this research was to analyze the psychometric properties of the EPOCH Adolescent Well-being Scale in Venezuelan Students. For this purpose, expert judges proceeded to examine the adequacy of the translation of the scale and adjusted five items by means of a reverse translation. Subsequently, the scale was applied to 523 young people between 13 and 18 years of age (M = 15.19; SD = 1.54; 51% males) in order to perform a confirmatory factor analysis that proved a five-dimensional structure (adequate fit indices). However, the factor engagement yielded some low factor loadings (< .5). In addition, an invariance test determined that the measurement model is the same for both sexes. Additionally, the reliability was appropriate for the overall scale and dimensions (α and ω > .7), with the exception of the engagement factor. Consequently, the latter aspect is discussed and suggestions are given regarding future research. |
