Resumen
Esta investigación se enfocó en evaluar las propiedades psicométricas del Índice de Bienestar Personal para Escolares (PWI-SC) y la Escala Breve de Bienestar Subjetivo en la Escuela para Adolescentes (BASWBSS) en escolares de enseñanza media de zonas rurales de Chile. La literatura sobre bienestar subjetivo en escolares muestra altas puntuaciones de bienestar en estudiantes urbanos, pero se carece de evidencia en estudiantes rurales. El estudio se realizó con 320 escolares (M = 16.5 años; DT = 1.24) de liceos públicos rurales en la Región del Biobío, Chile. Tanto el PWI-SC como la BASWBSS demostraron ser adecuadas para su uso en contextos rurales, con resultados de validez y confiabilidad similares a estudios con estudiantes urbanos. La validación de estas escalas para aplicarlas en contextos rurales es crucial para comprender y promover el bienestar en entornos escolares rurales. Los resultados contribuyen al campo de la medición del bienestar subjetivo en estudiantes chilenos de estas zonas. Los hallazgos tienen implicaciones tanto para la investigación como para la promoción del bienestar en escuelas rurales, destacando la importancia de considerar el contexto al desarrollar y aplicar instrumentos de medición.
