Resumen

A pesar de su amplio uso, las escalas de Ryff han presentado problemas de validez factorial y en recientes investigaciones han mostrado efectos de método que, sin embargo, no han sido exhaustivamente investigados en la literatura, especialmente en poblaciones especiales, como la de mayores, estudiada en este trabajo. El objetivo de este trabajo es doble: estudiar la estructura factorial de la escala de Ryff en sus distintas versiones; y evaluar la presencia de efectos de método asociados a los ítems formulados en negativo. Para ello se usa una muestra de 556 personas mayores de 65 años no institucionalizadas de la Comunidad Valenciana. Se han probado de forma exhaustiva todos los modelos factoriales confirmatorios encontrados en la literatura para la escala, mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio estimado por máxima verosimilitud con correcciones robustas, y el de mejor ajuste fue el de seis factores original de los autores de la escala. Respecto a los factores de método, los resultados muestran un efecto consistente en todas las versiones del factor asociado a ítems negativos, que al ser contemplado en el modelo, ofrece una mejora del ajuste.
