Abstract
My aim was to validate the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) for use in a Taiwanese context, using a sample of 389 undergraduate and graduate students. Participants completed the PWBS as well as measures of general satisfaction with life, positive affect and negative affect, global self-esteem, and depression. Results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the single-factor model of the PWBS had adequate fit indices, revealing that the 8 items of the scale were homogeneous for measuring psychological well-being. In addition, the PWBS had a positive relationship with life satisfaction, positive affect, and self-esteem, and a negative relationship with negative affect and depression, which supported its construct validity. Furthermore, the satisfactory internal consistency and stability scores supported its good reliability. All of the findings support my conclusion that the PWBS is an adequate short-form measure of psychological well-being for use in a Taiwanese context.
