Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties and factor structure of the Spanish version of the Life Engagement Test (LET) in people with physical disabilities. The study involved a random sample of 479 Ecuadorian adults with physical disabilities (56.78% women, mean age 52.29 years). The sample was randomly divided into two groups, for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Internal consistency was .81. A single factor was found that explained 55.41% of the total variance. Significant correlations of life purpose were found with different domains of health-related quality of life and resilience. The LET is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the purpose in life in people with physical disabilities
