Participants were 349 nonclinical Spanish undergraduates (225 women, 64.5%, and 124 men, 35.5%), age ranged between 18 and 26 years (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920.85; SD\u2009=\u20092.16). The PIL\u2010SF, the <jats:italic>Seeking of Noetic Goals\u20108 Items<\/jats:italic> (SONG\u20108), the <jats:italic>Satisfaction with Life Scale<\/jats:italic> (SWLS), and the <jats:italic>Oxford Happiness Questionnaire<\/jats:italic> (OHQ) were used. Descriptive analysis, estimation of the internal consistency, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the PIL\u2010SF were conducted, and correlations between the PIL\u2010SF and the SONG\u20108, the SWLS, and the OHQ were calculated. The PIL\u2010SF showed good internal consistency and an excellent fit as a unidimensional scale confirming its factorial structure. Regarding construct validity, correlations between the PIL\u2010SF and SWLS (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>= 0.59) and OHQ (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.56) were positive, significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), while correlation between PIL\u2010SF and SONG\u20108 was negative, significant (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009\u22120.23, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
