description The objective of this study was to develop a short version of the Subjective Sexual Satisfaction Scale. Two in-dependent studies were carried out with this purpose. The first study, of 200 participants, analyzed the reliability and factorial structure of the scale with strict criteria of item se-lection. In the second study, of 275 participants, a confirma-tory factorial analysis was carried out and the convergent and concurrent validity of the short version of the instru-ment (ESSS-B) was calculated. The results of the studies showed adequate psychometric properties in the scale. The reliability index of the scale was of .91 (Cronbach’s alpha). The seven items of the ESSS-B complied with the discrimi-nation criteria. Convergent and concurrent validity analyses were performed, obtaining statistically significant values. These results suggest that the ESSS-B has the potential to adequately measure sexual satisfaction in a global and sub-jective way among Puerto Rican adults.

El objetivo principal de este proyecto fue desarrollar una versión breve de la Escala de Satisfacción Sexual Subjetiva. Para ello, se realizaron dos estudios independientes. El primero empleó una muestra de 200 participantes para analizar la confiabilidad y la estructura factorial de la escala con criterios estrictos de selección de ítems. En el segundo, se utilizó una muestra de 275 participantes, se efectuó un análisis factorial confirmatorio y se calculó la validez convergente y concurrente de la versión breve del instrumento (ESSS-B). Los resultados de los estudios mostraron propiedades psicométricas adecuadas en la escala. El índice de confiabilidad alfa de Cronbach de la escala fue .91. Los siete ítems de la ESSS-B cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación. Se realizaron análisis de validez convergente y concurrente, de los que se obtuvieron valores estadísticamente significativos. Estos resultados sugieren que la ESSS-B tiene el potencial para medir adecuadamente la satisfacción sexual de una forma global y subjetiva en adultos puertorriqueños.
