El objetivo de este trabajo es la adaptación y validación al castellano de la Escala de Satisfacción Vital Multidimensional de los Estudiantes (MSLSS; Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale) de Huebner (1994a). La escala se ha validado con una población de 339 estudiantes de ESO de Gipuzkoa. Se realizó un Análisis de Componentes Principales, una depuración de ítems, así como análisis de fiabilidad interna y temporal, y de validez de constructo (convergente) y concurrente. Los resultados muestran la fiabilidad de la escala y de sus subescalas y la validez de constructo, convergente y concurrente, lo que permite disponer de un instrumento fiable para la medición de la satisfacción con ámbitos de la vida (familia, amigos, sí mismo, escuela y entorno) de los adolescentes.
