The objective of this study was to validate the Spanish version of the SMiLE (Schedule for Meaning in Life Evaluation). The SMiLE is a respondent-generated instrument: respondents are first asked to list three to seven areas, which provide meaning to their lives, and then to rate their current satisfaction with the listed areas, as well as the individual importance of each one. Indices of total weighting (IoW), total satisfaction (IoS), and total weighted satisfaction (IoWS) are calculated.
Two hundred and fifty University students responded to the Spanish version of the SMiLE, as well as to instruments for measuring self-esteem, quality of life, depression, and anxiety.
The Cronbach alphas (α = 0.61 for IoS and α = 0.41 for IoW) and test-retest correlations were comparable to those found in the initial validation of the instrument (IoS: r = 0.55; IoW: r = 0.61). The SMiLE showed positive correlations with self-esteem (r = 0.28, P < 0.05 for IoS) and the mental dimension of the quality of life scale (r = 0.31, P < 0.05 for IoS), while negative correlations were observed with depression (r = -0.23, P < 0.01) and anxiety (r = -0.17, P < 0.05).
The results support the validity of the Spanish version of the SMiLE as an instrument for assessing meaning in life.
本研究旨在验证 SMiLE（生活意义评估量表）的西班牙语版本。SMiLE 是一种由受访者生成的工具：首先要求受访者列出三到七个为其生活提供意义的领域，然后对他们目前对列出的领域的满意度以及每个领域的个人重要性进行评分。计算总加权指数（IoW）、总满意度（IoS）和总加权满意度（IoWS）。
250 名大学生对 SMiLE 的西班牙语版本以及用于测量自尊、生活质量、抑郁和焦虑的工具做出了回应。
Cronbach 阿尔法系数（IoS 为 0.61，IoW 为 0.41）和测试-重测相关性与该工具的初始验证结果相当（IoS：r=0.55；IoW：r=0.61）。SMiLE 与自尊呈正相关（IoS：r=0.28，P<0.05）和生活质量量表的心理维度呈正相关（IoS：r=0.31，P<0.05），而与抑郁呈负相关（r=-0.23，P<0.01）和焦虑（r=-0.17，P<0.05）。
结果支持 SMiLE 西班牙语版本作为评估生活意义的工具的有效性。
