Resumen
EVALUATE THE PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE HEALTH PROMOTER LIFESTYLE SCALE (EVPS) APPLIED TO STUDENTS FROM TWO CHILEAN UNIVERSITIES.
62.5% ARE WOMEN. 63.5% BELONGED TO A UNIVERSITY IN THE BÍO-BÍO REGION OF CHILE. FOUR ITEMS SHOWED STANDARDIZED FACTOR LOADS BELOW 0.3, AND ONE WAS NOT SIGNIFICANT. CONSTRUCT VALIDITY WAS HIGH. DISCRIMINANT VALIDITY WAS HIGH, WITH A LOW AND SIGNIFICANT SCORE BETWEEN THE EVPS SCALE AND THE OVERALL SELF-EFFICACY SCALE (R = 0.304, P < 0.01). THE RELIABILITY ANALYSIS REVEALED ACCEPTABLE VALUES OF INTERNAL CONSISTENCY IN BOTH MODELS (? = 0.92). THE ORIGINAL SIX-DIMENSIONAL MODEL SHOWED A GOOD FIT TO THE DATA. AFTER ELIMINATING ITEMS WITH LOW FACTOR LOADS, THE ADJUSTED MODEL OBTAINED SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN ALL CONSIDERED CRITERIA, EXPLAINING 46.33% OF THE VARIANCE.
