AB  - The Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS) assess the subjective experience of being 
      full of energy and alive, a clinically relevant outcome measure of positive 
      psychological well-being. The purpose of this paper was to translate the 7-item 
      SVS into Spanish and examine its psychometric properties. In Study 1 (n = 790 
      adolescents) and Study 2 (n = 130 athletes) reliability and exploratory factor 
      analysis (EFA) were carried out. In Study 1 and Study 3 (n = 197 dancers) 
      evidence of validity of inferences based on SVS scores estimating relationships 
      with other variables (life satisfaction, global self-esteem and emotional and 
      physical exhaustion) was obtained. In Study 2 invariance across time was tested. 
      Finally in Study 3, the factorial structure was cross-validated using 
      confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results of EFA showed a one-factor solution. 
      CFA also supported a unidimensional factor structure for the Spanish 6-item SVS 
      (RMSEA = .050 (90% CI = .00, .080); NNFI = .993; CFI = .996). Reliability 
      analysis indicated a strong internal consistency in all study samples (alpha ranged 
      from .82 to .89). Further, results from multi-sample analysis supported the 
      replicability of SVS factor structure across time. Finally, the SVS scores showed 
      the expected correlations patterns (all them significant, p < .01) with the 
      measured outcomes. In conclusion, the Spanish version of the SVS demonstrated 
      adequate psychometric properties, indicating that the scale can be confidently 
      used to measure the experience of possessing energy and aliveness; furthermore, 
      differences across time can be meaningfully carried out.
