- Abstract
Mexico among the happiest countries in the world despite their low scores on virtually all elements that provide well-being, requires psychosocial indicators that explain the happiness of Mexicans. The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the lime happiness scale (LHS) in a heterogeneous Mexican sample. The LHS considers happiness as a multidimensional behavior with an important cultural burden for the Latino population. Exploratory factorial analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed using the structural equations method. The studies were carried out with two heterogeneous samples of 600 Mexicans each. The results obtained led to the identification of a bifactorial model where positive affect correlates positively with satisfaction with life.
