Abstract

The Satisfaction with Family Life Scale (SWFLS) is a measure of a person's satisfaction with their family life as a whole that has been used in different cultural contexts. However, its internal structure and factorial invariance have not been investigated simultaneously in culturally different samples from America and Europe. The current study aims to evaluate the internal structure and factorial invariance of the SWLFS in adolescents from Peru and Portugal, through a multi-group confirmatory factor analysis. The study was conducted on 439 adolescents from Peru (N = 232; Age_average = 15.50, S.D. = 0.65) and Portugal (N = 207; Age_average = 16.16, S.D. = 0.81). First, the confirmatory factorial analysis for each group was carried out, followed by the multi-group confirmatory factorial analyses. Results indicated that the one-factor structure of the SWLFS presents a good adjustment to the data, in addition to an adequate internal consistency. Moreover, the presence of configural, metric, scalar and strict invariance is demonstrated across culturally different samples. The SWFLS is a brief and valid measure of satisfaction with family life that is useful for intercultural comparisons between samples of adolescents from Peru and Portugal.

秘鲁与葡萄牙青少年家庭生活满意度的因子不变性。

家庭生活满意度量表(SWFLS)是一种衡量个人对家庭生活整体满意度的量表，在不同的文化背景下使用。然而，其内部结构和阶乘不变性尚未在美国和欧洲文化不同的样本中同时进行研究。本研究旨在通过多组验证性因子分析，评估秘鲁和葡萄牙青少年主观幸福感的内部结构和因子不变性。本研究以秘鲁439名青少年为研究对象(N = 232;平均年龄= 15.50，标准差= 0.65)和葡萄牙(N = 207;平均年龄= 16.16，标准差= 0.81)。首先对各组进行验证性因子分析，然后进行多组验证性因子分析。结果表明，单因素结构对数据具有较好的调整能力，且具有较好的内部一致性。此外，结构、度量、标量和严格不变性在不同文化的样本中得到了证明。SWFLS是对家庭生活满意度的一个简短而有效的衡量标准，对秘鲁和葡萄牙青少年样本之间的跨文化比较很有用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of General Psychology publishes human and animal research reflecting various methodological approaches in all areas of experimental psychology. It covers traditional topics such as physiological and comparative psychology, sensation, perception, learning, and motivation, as well as more diverse topics such as cognition, memory, language, aging, and substance abuse, or mathematical, statistical, methodological, and other theoretical investigations. The journal especially features studies that establish functional relationships, involve a series of integrated experiments, or contribute to the development of new theoretical insights or practical applications.
