Abstract
The EPOCH measure was designed to assess well-being among Western adolescent populations. To this date, the psychometric properties of the EPOCH measure have not been assessed for its applicability to Iranian adolescents. The purpose of the current study is to first translate the EPOCH measure from the English language into the Persian language, and to subsequently examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the EPOCH measure among Iranian adolescent girls. A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was employed to select 373 girl high-school students (grades 11 and 12) from schools within District One of Tehran. The results of the face, content, and construct validity tests showed that the EPOCH measure had acceptable validity and suitable reliability (the composite reliability and the Cronbach’s alpha values were greater than 0.7). The results of confirmatory factor analysis supported the five factors of the EPOCH measure among Iranian girl high-school students. The overall results showed the validity and reliability of the EPOCH measure for assessing well-being in Iranian girl high-school students.
