Abstract
Se presentan los resultados obtenidos en la estimación de la confiabilidad y la validez del Índice de Satisfacción Vital (LSI-A) de Neugarten, Havighurst & Tobin (1961, 1996). La muestra estuvo constituida por 473 adultos de 30 a 75 años (hombres y mujeres) de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile, distribuidos en tres niveles de ingreso, tres grupos de edad y tres niveles de escolaridad. Se estimó la validez de contenido, concurrente y de constructo del instrumento, definiendo 5 factores que explican el 50.62% de la varianza. La confiabilidad con alpha de Cronbach fue de 0.80 para la muestra completa, el índice varió entre 0.77 a 0.83 según edad, entre 0.77 y 0.81 según nivel educacional y entre 0.74 y 0.83 según nivel de ingreso; no se observaron variaciones según sexo (0.80).
