Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo la finalidad de evaluar el nivel de felicidad de los
estudiantes universitarios de Lima Metropolitana aplicando el instrumento de medición
denominado Escala de Felicidad de Lima, el cual fue elaborado por el investigador Alarcón
(2006). Cabe indicar que el instrumento fue seleccionado por tres criterios: (a) el primero
debido que es una herramienta que cubre cuatro dimensiones, (b) segundo que es una
herramienta validada en el contexto latinoamericano, y (c) tercero que ha sido validada en
estudiantes universitarios. El estudio llevado a cabo fue cuantitativo de naturaleza
descriptiva y tuvo un diseño no experimental. El tamaño de la muestra fue de 384 alumnos
de universidades públicas y privadas, de ambos sexos, sin discriminar carrera, ni ciclo de
estudios. Los resultados obtenidos en la investigación han evidenciado que el nivel de
felicidad en promedio es medio, la dimensión con menor nivel de felicidad fue la de
Realización Personal y que no existe diferencia significativa entre los grupos de sexo, edad, y
tipo de universidad. Estos resultados permitieron identificar oportunidades para incrementar
el nivel de felicidad a nivel general.

It should be noted that the instrument was selected considering three criterias: (a) the first because it is a tool that covers four dimensions, (b) second that is a validated tool in the Latin American context, and (c) third that has been validated in university students. The study carried out was quantitative of a descriptive nature and had a non-experimental design. The sample size was 384 students from public and private universities, of both sexes, without discrimination of career or study cycle. The results obtained in the research have shown that the level of happiness on average is medium, the dimension with the lowest level of happiness was that of Personal Achievement and that there is no significant difference between the sex, age, and type of university groups. These results allowed identifying opportunities to increase the level of happiness at a general level.
