OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the current study is to test the factorial structure of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) in Asian population. METHOD: The study was conducted across three different Vietnamese samples (N = 2741). We present a comparison of the existing measurement models of the MHC-SF using two methodological approaches: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) (both in exploratory-using bi-geomin rotation; and in confirmatory variant-using target rotation). RESULTS: The current report supported the targeted bifactor ESEM solution as better describing the factorial structure of the MHC-SF than the originally assumed three-factor solution in all samples. CONCLUSION: The structure of the MHC-SF is best represented as combination of the bifactor and ESEM model.
