Abstract
This study aims at analyzing the psychometric properties of the CEVJU-Peru, which is based on the best 30 items of the Lifestyles of Young University Students Questionnaire (CEVJU, by its Spanish abbreviation) by Arrivillaga et al. (2003). This study counted with the participation of 1 265 students aged 18 to 30 years old from six Peruvian universities. Regarding validity, CFA and ESEM analyses were performed. It was found that ESEM's rates showed better adjustment rates, corroborating the six-area structure. Statistically significant correlations were found between some areas of the test, which supports the multidimensional structure. Finally, regarding reliability, alpha and omega coefficients over .60 were found for the six areas of the test. The 30-item version of the CEVJU-Peru is a valid and reliable instrument for use with Peruvian university students.
