- Abstract
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish translation of the Subjective Happiness Scale and its relation to stress, perceived health, and social support. Back translation procedure was used in order to achieve a conceptual equivalence of the scale. The study included a nonrandom sample of 90 women with breast cancer. The main results indicate a factorial structure of a factor explaining 59.4% of the variance. Was found a relation between happiness and perceived health (r=0.370, p=0.001), happiness and stress (r=-0.462, p=0.001) and finally happiness and social support (r=0.382, p=0.001). The findings and limitations are discussed.
