本研究的目的是支持西班牙版幸福感问卷（QEWB）的多维和分层性质，并通过探索性结构方程模型（ESEM）框架分析其心理测量特性。对大学生样本（N = 589，其中 161 名男性和 428 名女性）进行的分析结果支持了假设的双因素 ESEM 解决方案，该解决方案由全球幸福感因素和三个特定因素（目的感、有目的的个人表达力和努力参与）组成。具体而言，21个项目中的大多数项目对全局因素的定义相对较好；此外，其中两个具体因素（有目的的个人表达性、努力的参与）保持了自己有意义的特殊性，与全球因素解释的特殊性不同，这表明它们为幸福感结构添加了信息。关于 QEWB 的标准相关效度，全局因素与自尊呈正相关。最后，该量表显示出足够水平的综合可靠性和测量对性别的不变性。潜在均值的差异表明，女孩比男孩报告了更高的积极的有目的的个人表达和努力参与，而在全球幸福感方面没有发现显着差异。考虑了关于幸福感本质的理论含义。
Aim of the present study is to support the multidimensional and hierarchical nature of the Spanish version of Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Wellbeing (QEWB) and to analyze its psychometric properties through the exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) framework. Results of the analyses carried out in a sample of university students (N = 589, 161 males and 428 females), supported the hypothesized bifactor-ESEM solution, composed by a global eudaimonic wellbeing factor and three specific factors (Sense of Purpose, Purposeful Personal Expressiveness and Effortful Engagement). Specifically, the global factor is relatively well defined by most of the 21 items; moreover, two of the specific factors (Purposeful Personal Expressiveness, Effortful Engagement) keep their own meaningful specificity apart from that explained by the global factor, suggesting that they add information to the eudaimonic wellbeing construct. Regarding criterion-related validity of the QEWB, the global factor was positively correlated with self-esteem. Finally, the scale showed adequate levels of composite reliability and measurement invariance over gender. Differences in latent means showed that girls report higher positive Purposeful Personal Expressiveness and Effortful Engagement than boys, whereas no significant differences were found in relation to global eudaimonic wellbeing. Theoretical implications about the nature of eudaimonic wellbeing are considered.
