The psychometric properties of a Subjective Well-being Scale were analyzed for adolescent students participating in the evaluations of PISA 2018. The sample included 67,503 adolescent students from Bulgaria, Georgia, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, Panama, Serbia, Spain and the United Arab Emirates. Different models were evaluated for the Subjective Well-being Scale. Reliability was validated with the McDonald’s Omega coefficient, validity with the Confirmatory Factor Analysis and invariance with the Multigroup Factor Analysis. The Bifactorial model, with a general factor called Subjective Well-being and three specific factors called Satisfaction with Life, Positive Affects and Negative Affects, yielded the best fit indices. The analyses of the Subjective Well-being Scale applied to adolescent students from the four countries studied, yielded evidence of validity, reliability and inva...

El objetivo de este texto es analizar el impacto emocional y social de la desaparición forzada de una persona, en los integrantes de su familia y sus implicaciones en la dinámica familiar. Se empleó la metodología cualitativa, desde el enfoque fenomenológico, con base en la técnica de la entrevista profunda; el estudio se realizó en Morelia Michoacán, México, con la participación de una familia (madre, padre, 3 hermanas e hija del desaparecido). Los resultados obtenidos a partir del análisis de los discursos de los participantes, permitieron establecer cinco categorías: afrontamiento del duelo, distintos tipos del duelo vivido, malestares orgánicos, estrategias familiares de recuperación, afrontamiento de la falta de apoyo legal por parte de la familia. Se encontró que la familia atraviesa por una pérdida ambigua, la cual ocasiona confusión, estrés, y que a menudo atorm...
