DOMINGUEZ-LARA, Sergio. Psychometric analysis of the Satisfaction with Studies Brief Scale in college students. Aval. psicol. []. 2022, 21, 1, pp.34-39. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2022.2101.19747.04.

The aim was to obtain evidence of validity for a brief measure of satisfaction with studies. A total of 531 Peruvian Psychology students (77.6% women) were evaluated using the Satisfaction with Studies Brief Scale (SSBS) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) was carried out for three measurement models (single factor, two oblique factors, and bifactor). The construct reliability was evaluated through the omega coefficient. The results show that the two-factor structure (satisfaction with studies and satisfaction with life) received more support, that the SSBS´s items correspond to their theoretical factors, and that its relationship with the SWLS was significant. An adequate reliability coefficient was obtained. In conclusion, the SSBS shows favorable validity evidence regarding its relationship with the SWLS, and a high level of construct reliability.
