Resumo
[Abstract]
Satisfaction with life (SWL) and subjective vitality (SV) are indicators of subjective well-being
and quality of life. University students are at risk of low levels of subjective well-being, and therefore it
is necessary to have properly validated tools to assess SWL and SV in this population. The aim of this
study was to test the psychometric properties of the satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) and subjective
vitality scale (SVS) in Spanish university students. Participants were 435 undergraduate students
enrolled in 50 different courses (M = 20.9 years, SD = 2.1; female students = 71.2%). Confirmatory
factor analysis (CFA) was used to test the structure of the scales. Internal consistency, criterion
and discriminant validity were also evaluated. Results confirmed the 5-item model of the SWLS
(NNFI = 0.975, CFI = 0.987, RMSEA = 0.076) and the six-item model of the SVS (NNFI = 0.980,
CFI = 0.988, RMSEA = 0.102). Internal consistency was excellent in both scales. The SWLS and the
SVS were significantly associated, and students with low self-esteem showed lower SWL and SV,
indicating good criterion and discriminant validity. These findings support the use of the SWLS and
SVS for the assessment of subjective well-being in higher education context.
