ABSTRACT=Objective: To examine the effect of family and academic satisfaction on the self-esteem and life satisfaction among Peruvian university students.
Method: Of the 1,182 Peruvian university students who participated, 364 were male; and 818 were female; and ranged from 17 to 39 years of age (mean = 20.67, SD = 4.4). The Family Satisfaction Scale (FSS), the Escala breve de satisfacción con los estudios (EBSE; Brief Academic Satisfaction Scale in Spanish), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) were used to perform the assessments.
Results: The study model showed an adequate fit (2 19.5, p < .001, CFI = .977, RMSEA = .057), confirming the association between family satisfaction and life satisfaction ( = .26, p < .001) and self-esteem ( = .35, p< .001), and the correlation between academic satisfaction and self-esteem ( = .35, p < .001) and life satisfaction ( = .23, p< .001). The model accounted for 42% of life satisfaction.
Conclusion: Family satisfaction and academic satisfaction affect self-esteem and life satisfaction.
