Descripción
The Authentic Happiness Theory considers that well-being can be reached by three main pathways: a pleasant life, an engaged life, or a meaningful life. This study investigates the psychometric properties of the Three Pathways to Well-being scale in Argentinean adolescents and compares that to prior results forArgentinean adults. A sample of 255 Argentinean adolescent students (110 boys, 145 girls) aged between 13 and 18 years ( M age = 15.5, SD = 1.6) was used in this study. The participants completed the Spanish versions of the Three Pathways to Wellbeing scale, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, the Satisfaction With Life Scale, and the Personal Wellbeing Index. Confi rmatory factor analyses verifi ed the three-factor structure of the test, accounting for 46% of the variance. The internal consistencies were = .76 for the pleasant life, = .80 for the engaged life, and = .70 for the meaningful life. Concurrent validity was examined with the Satisfaction With Life Scale, the Personal Wellbeing Index, and the Meaning in Life Questionnaire, and the engaged life was the pathway most strongly associated with the positive related measures.
