Several recent works have analysed the factorial structure of well-being measures. The aim of our study is to analyse the factorial structure of a widely used well-being scale, Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being, but in a specific subpopulation of the Spanish population, the elderly. For this particular subpopulation, the construct of well-being has been employed in most theoretical models that explain quality of life, and its role is therefore pivotal. The sample comprised 169 elderly people (65 years or more), sampled within the Valencian Community. The 54-item version of Ryff's scales was used. An item parcelling process was analytically employed before confirmatory factor analyses, allowing a total of 18 well-being indicators. Confirmatory factor analyses were specified and tested, including all theoretical and empirical solutions found in the literature, either in the general population or in specific populations of different cultural contexts. Goodness-of-fit results were similar to the ones found in the literature. Best solutions were a six-factor model with correlated factors, as defended by the authors, and a five-factor correlated solution, collapsing environmental mastery and self-acceptance into a single factor.
最近的几项研究分析了幸福感测量的因子结构。我们研究的目的是分析一种广泛使用的幸福感量表——赖夫心理幸福感量表的因子结构，但针对的是西班牙人口中的一个特定亚群体——老年人。对于这个特定的亚群体，幸福感的概念在大多数解释生活质量的理论模型中都有应用，因此其作用至关重要。样本包括169名老年人（65岁及以上），从巴伦西亚自治区抽取。使用了赖夫量表的54个项目版本。在进行验证性因子分析之前，通过分析采用了项目打包过程，从而得到总共18个幸福感指标。进行了验证性因子分析并进行了检验，包括文献中发现的所有理论和实证解决方案，这些方案适用于一般人群或不同文化背景下的特定人群。拟合优度结果与文献中的结果相似。最佳解决方案是作者所支持的具有相关因子的六因子模型，以及将环境掌控和自我接纳合并为一个单一因子的五因子相关解决方案。
