Three studies were carried out with this purpose. The first study, of 665 partic-ipants, analyzed the reliability and factorial structure of the scales.

The third study, of 342 Puerto Rican women, calculated the convergent and diver-gent validity of the scales with other measures of wellbeing and depression. The results of the studies showed adequate psychometric properties in the scale. The reliability index of the scale was of .95. The variance in the exploratory factorial analysis was 65.35%. The results confirmed that the scale has a one-dimensional structure. The eight items complied with the criteria of discrimination. Convergent and discriminant validity analyses were performed by eval-uating correlation between flourishing, satisfaction with life and depression, obtaining statistically significant values.

En el presente estudio se analizan las propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Florecimiento en Puerto Rico. Se realizaron tres estudios. En el primero, con 665 participantes, se analizaron la confiabilidad y la estructura factorial de la escala. En el segundo, con 821 participantes, se efectuó un análisis factorial confirmatorio. En el tercero, con 342 mujeres puertorriqueñas, se calculó la validez convergente y divergente de las escalas con otras medidas de bienestar y depresión. Los resultados de los estudios mostraron propiedades psicométricas adecuadas en la escala. El índice de confiabilidad Alfa de Cronbach de la escala fue de .92. La varianza explicada en el análisis factorial exploratorio fue de un 65.35%. Los resultados confirmaron que la escala posee una estructura unidimensional. Los ocho ítems de la escala cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación. Se realizaron análisis de validez convergente y discriminante mediante la evaluación de correlación entre el florecimiento, la satisfacción con la vida y la depresión. Se obtuvieron valores estadísticamente significativos. Estos resultados sugieren que la Escala de Florecimiento tiene el potencial para medir este constructo en adultos puertorriqueños.
