Sumario:The quality of professional life, especially in clinical psychologists, is a relevant issue due to the high incidence of burnout and emotional exhaustion. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, instrumental study was conducted to adapt and validate the Pro-QOL R-IV scale in Argentinian psychologists. Data were obtained through a voluntary and non-probabilistic sampling. A sample of 560 psychologists of mean age 40.7 (SD = 28.37; Min = 23, Max = 67; 67% women, 33% men) was used. In all cases, adequate percentage values and Aiken’s V coefficients were obtained. The exploratory factor analysis grouped 30 items into three latent variables, showing adequate values in the validity tests. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a good fit for the three-factor model. It is concluded that the Pro-QOL-Psi Inventory is a valid and reliable instrument to assess quality of life in Argentine psychologists.
