The analysis of use of time during the week and the weekend provides an appropiate measure of the lifestyle. We describe the characteristics of the different groups and they are studied in relation to the lifestyle and work and family satisfaction. The concept of Congruence/Incongruence is used for analyzing the relationship between work and family environments. The conclusion is that those worlds are not independent. Moreover, lifestyle and satisfaction show some associations with demographic variables such as sex, kind of couple, and vital cycle (the age and the fact of having children).

Studies on life styles ha ve driven us to consider three studies which analyse the concept and its relationship with other psychological variables. The first study presents an analysis of the activities carried out by a person, asan operational definition of life styles using ADIT self-registering (Self-Registeringof Time Distribution, SRTD), considering individuals who interact with subject in those activities. In the second study, modifications to the original self-record are suggested; eg, the sectionthat registers where and with whom are carried out the activities was eliminated. In the third study, the relationships among life styles, life satisfaction and personality variables are analysed. Therewere 84 persons in the sample assigned to 6 groups, depending on the relationships among these three concepts, as was previously suggested by other studies

The purpose of the study was the adaptation of the MIPS (1994) toa population of 390 university students of Lima ( 188 men and 202 women). The inventory was adapted to the Spanishs poken in Peru. The psychometrical analysis revealed a reliability index of .70 as well as astructural internal validity. Most of the scales presented acceptable levels of internal consistency.The comparison with the studies carried out in Spain and USA showed that the levels of internal-consistency were similar to those found in the Spanish population and slightly below tothose found in the North American population. The analysis of the differences between the averages in each one of the se al es indicated greater discrepancies between the Peruvian populationand the Spanish, than between the Peruvian popular ion and the Nonh American.

This paper considers Psychological Style (PS) as a supraordinal category in the personality organization andas an approach of change. The PS organizes behavior, has an eminet global character, is essential for interpretation, and could be considered as a set of guidelines. Given its encompassing nature, PS is useful in many fields. An empírica! research on Life Styles (LS) is presented, in which is proposed its operativization through time distribution. An original instrument on time distribution is given (AD IT). The data collected indicated that time distribution can be used as an operativisation of LS, since the profiles found have a clear psychological significance and the relation with demographic variables also have a psychological meaning.

Los estudios sobre estilos de vida (EV) conducen a plantear tres investigaciones que analizan el concepto y sus relaciones con otras variables psicológicas. Primero, se presenta el análisis de las ac-tividades realizadas por la persona, como operativización de los estilos de vida a partir del autorre-gistro ADIT (Autorregistro de Distribución del Tiempo) en relación con las personas con las que los sujetos realizan dichas actividades. Segundo, se plantean modificaciones del autorregistro original; por ejemplo, se eliminó el apartado que registra dónde y con quién se realiza las actividades. Terce-ro. se analizan las relaciones entre los EV, la satisfacción vital y las variables de personalidad en 84 personas. Estas se organizan en seis grupos, de acuerdo con las relaciones entre estos tres conceptos, como se ha venido apuntando en trabajos previos (Sánchez-López y Quiroga, 199...

El objetivo del estudio fue la adaptación del MIPS ( 1994) a una población de 390 estudiantes universitarios de Lima (188 hombres y 202 mujeres). Se adaptó la prueba al castellano hablado en elPerú. El análisis psicométrico mostró un índice de confiabilidad promedio de . 70 y una validez internaestructural. La mayoría de las escalas presentó niveles de consistencia interna aceptables. La comparación con los estudios realizados en España y EEUU mostró que la confiabilidad promedio es semejante a la hallada en la población española y ligeramente inferior a la norteamericana. Elanálisis de las diferencias entre los promedios en cada una de las escalas indicó mayores divergenciasentre la población peruana y la española que entre la población peruana y la norteamericana.
