Psychological Well-being and Life Satisfaction Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Flow Experience in Various Fields

Abstract

The psychometric properties of Flourishing Scale (FS) and the Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) were examined in the Indian milieu in three separate studies. Firstly, reliability and exploratory factor analysis was confirmed on a sample of 789 adults for both the scales. Thereafter, the two measures were administered to 608 adolescents. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported the unidimensional structure of FS and bidimensional structure of SPANE. A third sample of 786 adults (18–65 years), besides providing further evidence of the factor structure of the scales through confirmatory factor analyses, also enabled the assessment of convergent validity by correlating the scales with Mental Health Continuum and its factors (emotional well-being, psychological well-being, and social well-being). These factors were positively related with FS and Positive Experience and Balance Subscales of SPANE and negatively related with the Negative Experience Subscale of SPANE. It is evident that both scales are reliable and valid in the Indian scenario.
