Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out. The ECE assessment had an internal consistency of 0.893 (Cronbach’s Alpha). An exploratory factor analysis with Varimax rotation and a confirmatory analysis were performed, obtaining the factor that explains 52.3% of the variance. The results indicated that the ECE has adequate psychometric properties for use with higher education students in Chile. The ECE scale has good psychometric properties to be applied in the Chilean university context. Its usage may be very relevant to contribute to higher education institutions to emphasize students’ mental health and prevent possible severe pathologies in future professionals. It is suggested to use the ECE scale together with the EES-Int, which is the only interpretation table for this instrument. metadata Martínez-Líbano, Jonathan; Yeomans, María-Mercedes y Oyanedel, Juan-Carlos mail SIN ESPECIFICAR (2022) Psychometric Properties of the Emotional Exhaustion Scale (ECE) in Chilean Higher Education Students.
