The present study aims to validate the Mental Health Inventory (MHI) in its original 38- items version created by Clairice Veit and John Ware in 1983. For this purpose, the internal structure of the instrument was analyzed in a population of 294 university students (M = 21.7, DE = 2). Through an exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) of principal components with oblique rotation Promax, five and two factors were set in order to observe if the dimensional composition of the sub-scales and global scales replicated what was proposed by the theory and existing empirical evidence regarding the dimensions of the MHI-38. The results show a multidimensional composition of five factors, of which four are similar to the original sub-scales (Positive General Anxiety, Anxiety, Depression and Impulsivity) and the finding of the Hopelessness sub-scale is reported. In turn, at the two-dimensional level, the factors found correspond to the original distribution of Psychological Well-Being and Stress. At the same time, both global scales are indirectly and moderately related. Likewise, the correlation of Satisfaction with Life and Positive Affection was moderate, while with Negative Affection it was high. In both cases, the correlations were direct. Finally, the reliability of the global scales is .90 and the subscales fluctuates between .70 and .90.
