RESUMEN
Los estudiantes universitarios componen un grupo expuesto a diversas tensiones psicosociales en virtud de su adaptación a los nuevos entornos físicos y sociales a los que se enfrentan, situación que se complejiza más para aquellos que se insertan al mundo laboral. Esta investigación explora el estado y características del bienestar subjetivo de 1.456 jóvenes universitarios de Chile y España (Cataluña), utilizando la Escala de Satisfacción Global con la Vida (OLS) y el Índice de Bienestar Personal (PWI). Asimismo, se estudia la relación entre los niveles de satisfacción vital y el hecho de trabajar o no. Para ello, se determinaron coeficientes de fiabilidad del PWI, se comprobó su ajuste estadístico mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio y se construyeron modelos de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indican que no existen diferencias significativas en el bienestar subjetivo entre los estudiantes universitarios que trabajan y los que no, en ninguno de los dos países.(AU)
ABSTRACT
College students compose a group exposed to diverse psychosocial stress factors in their adaptation to the new physical and social environments they confront. This situation is more complex for those that are working and studying. This research explores the status and characteristics of the subjective well-being of 1,456 university students in Chile and Spain, as measured by the scale of Overall Life Satisfaction (OLS) and the Personal Well-being Index (PWI). It also explores the relationship between levels of overall life satisfaction and the fact of working, or not. For this purpose, PWI reliability coefficients were determined, checked for statistical adjustment using confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation models were built. The results indicate no significant differences in subjective well-being among college students who work and those who do not, in either of the two countries.(AU)
