Abstract
Se analizaron las diferencias en bienestar psicológico en función de la edad y el sexo, en una muestra de 180 estudiantes
universitarios (138 mujeres, 76.7%; 42 hombres, 23.3%) con edades entre 18 y 55 años, M = 22.91, DT = 6.71. Se utilizó
una adaptación española de las Escalas de Bienestar Psicológico de Ryff y para los análisis de las diferencias se llevó a
cabo la prueba de Mann-Whitney para la comparación entre grupos. Los participantes adultos maduros (30-55 años)
puntuaron significativamente más alto que los jóvenes (18-29 años) en Autoaceptación, Dominio del Entorno, Crecimiento
Personal y Propósito en la Vida, y las mujeres significativamente más alto que los hombres en Crecimiento Personal. Las
diferencias asociadas a la edad podrían relacionarse con cambios significativos en las tendencias motivacionales a lo
largo del ciclo vital, y las diferencias en función del género podrían explicarse por orientaciones axiológicas distintas
entre hombres y mujeres.
Differences associates to age and gender in psychological well-being were analyzed, in a sample of 180 Spanish undergraduates (138 women, 76.7%; 42 men, 23.3%) aged 18-55, M = 22.91, SD = 6.71. A Spanish adaptation of the Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales was used, and the Mann-Whitney test to analyze the differences. The mature participants (30-55 years) scored significantly higher than youth (18-29 years) in Environmental Mastery, Personal Growth, Self-acceptance, and Purpose in Life, and women scored significantly higher than men in Personal Growth. The differences related to the age may be linked to significant changes in motivational trends between youth and maturity, and gender differences could be explained by different axiological orientation between men and women.
