ABSTRACT
This study aims to adapt the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) to the Philippines, gathering evidence of its validity and reliability. Two studies were conducted. Participants in Study 1 were 340 college students (Mage= 20.63; 62.1% female), who completed the GQ-6 and demographic questions. The exploratory factor analysis was performed, indicating a one-factor solution (α= .80). Participants in Study 2 were 813 college students (Mage= 19.99 years; 50.1% male), who answered the GQ-6, the Life Orientation Test-Revised, the Subjective Happiness Scale, and the Spirituality/Religiousness items. Results corroborated the one-factor structure (e.g., CFI= .98, RMSEA= .05) showing evidence of its association with life orientation (r= .29), subjective happiness (r= .08), and religiosity (r= .31). The scores from the GQ-6 also exhibited invariance across gender. In conclusion, the GQ-6 provide evidence of factorial and criterion validity and reliability, justifying its use in the Philippines (AU)
RESUMEN
Filipinas, recogiendo pruebas sobre su validez y fiabilidad. Se realizaron dos estudios. En el estudio 1 participaron 340 estudiantes universitarios (Medad= 20,63 años; 62,1% mujeres), que contestaron el GQ-6 y los datos sociodemográficos. El análisis factorial exploratorio mostró una solución de un factor (α= 0,80). En el estudio 2 participaron 813 estudiantes universitarios (Medad= 19,99 años; 50,1% hombres), que respondieron el GQ-6, el Test revisado de orientación a la vida, la Escala de felicidad subjetiva y los ítems sobre espiritualidad/religiosidad. Los resultados confirmaron la estructura unifactorial del GQ-6 (p. ej., CFI= 0,98, RMSEA= 0,05) mostrando evidencia de su asociación con la orientación a la vida (r= 0,29), la felicidad subjetiva (r= 0,08) y la religiosidad (r= 0,31). Las puntuaciones del GQ-6 mostraron invariancia de sexo. En conclusión, el GQ-6 proporciona pruebas de validez y fiabilidad factorial y de criterio, lo que justifica su uso en Filipinas (AU)
