Development of a Psychological Well-being Scale for College Students in Taiwan
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
This study combined the factors influencing psychological well-being proposed by Ryff and Keyes, including autonomy, environmental mastery, self-acceptance, positive relationships with others, personal growth, and purpose in life, with college students' lifestyles to develop a psychological well-being scale for college students. First, an initial draft of the questionnaire was made based on the main concepts from the study by Ryff and Keyes. Three college students examined the draft content and provided suggestions. The draft was revised and made into a pre-test questionnaire with a total of 20 questions. Second, a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted (N＝355) for the initial model. The results showed that the factor loadings for each question were low. Third, after a question was eliminated, the modified model was examined. The results showed that the modified model had a goodness of fit, good verification in terms of item quality, high composite reliability, and excellent discrimination between the six potential variables. The measurement equivalence was examined, and the results showed that the modified model was stable and can be used in different groups. Fourth, a proof test was conducted (N=410), and the results showed that the modified model can be used with different samples. Last, the criterion-related validity was examined and showed a significant positive correlation. Thus, the model, with a total of 19 questions regarding the six factors, was supported
