摘要：This study compared the 7-item Personal Wellbeing Index (PWI) with two other versions which include the domains “Spirituality” and “Religion”, separately, in a sample of Brazilian ( n = 1.047) and Chilean ( n = 1.053) adolescents. A comparison of psychometric properties between the PWI versions was carried out through multigroup con fi rmatory factor analysis showing adequate adjust- ments (CFI > .95, RMSEA < .08), whereas the item spirituality presented better performance. For the analysis of the differential contribution of each domain to the notion of global satisfaction, a regression on the item Overall Life Satisfaction (OLS) was applied using structural equations. It is recommended the inclusion of the item spirituality in the original scale, considering the importance of such domain in both cultures.
