Abstract

The study explores the factorial structure of the Ryff’s Psychological Wellbeing Questionnaire (PWBS) in university students in Ecuador, configuring itself as an instrumental study of factorial validity, internal consistency type and temporal stability and temporal validity of the test. Four hundred forty-one university students participated (73% women and 27% men), between 17 and 39 years old (M = 20.9; SD = 2.36), from two universities in Ambato, Ecuador. At the level of results, the model of six correlated factors is confirmed in a version of 28 items (withdrawal of item 13) with adjustment indicators of ꭓ2 = 971.1; p < .001; gl = 335; ꭓ2/gl = 2.9; CFI = .93; TLI = .92; SRMR = .08; RMSEA = .066 [.061 - .071]. The reliability of the factors is acceptable, between ω = .58 in personal growth and ω = .79 for self-acceptance and purpose in life. Furthermore, it has temporal stability validity in two-week intervals with r = .92, p < .001; and t = 2.14; p < .05. It is concluded that the six-factor adjustment model of the Ryff Scale is adapted to the university population of Ecuador, in line with previous studies in similar populations.
