Adaptación del Perfil PERMA en una muestra ecuatoriana

The PERMA profile scale of Butler and Kern (2016) was adapted to be used inEcuador. This scale is based on Seligman's (2011) well-being theory. In order to obtain the Ecuadorian version the translation-back translation method was used. The final version, was applied to a sample of 1,247 adults between 18 and 89 years who live in Cuenca, Ecuador. The discrimination capacity of the items, their reliability and factor structure were studied. The internal consistency (α = .911) for the total scale was high, a three factor structure was obtained that differs from the original version which explains 62.99% of the variance, with an acceptable general adjustment is reported with valuesof χ2 [A1] /gl=196.24/63=3.1, CFI = .99, RMSEA = .047, SRMR = 0.0252. Inconclusion, the PERMA profile is a useful instrument to evaluate the well-being ofEcuadorian adults.
