Abstract

The aim of this study was to propose and evaluate a structural model that explains well-being as a synonym of positive mental health in Ecuadorians, taking into consideration a group of associated psychosocial variables evaluated through questionnaires. The sample included 1064 adults, inhabitants of Cuenca-Ecuador. The results were analysed with the software SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 23.0. using the generalized least squares method. Partial models were tested, the most satisfactory structural adjustment model obtained the following results; GFI=.91; AGFI=.90; RMR=.205; RMSEA=041; CFI=90. Three factors are included in the stmcture (Purpose. Positive Relationships and Growth), as well as the social well-being dimension. Self- A ssessment of health, self-efficacy and gratitude are important predictors of mental health while the increase of negative emotions showed a negative effect.
