“…This study found a lower percentage of explained variance compared to previous studies Hone et al 2014a, b;Tang et al 2014) and similar to the French version (Villieux et al 2016). Item 1 showed a low variability and a high mean compared to the other items on the scale.…”

“…The FS has been validated in countries such as New Zealand (Hone et al 2014a, b), Portugal (Silva and Caetano 2013), Japan (Sumi 2014a, b), China (Tang et al 2014), France (Villieux et al 2016) and Germany . All these validations have consistently found a one factor structure explaining between 44% (France) and 73.1% (Japan) of the variance.…”

Well-being research and its measurement have grown in the last two decades. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Flourishing Scale in a sample of Spanish adults. This was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of 999 Spanish general adult population participants. The psychometric properties of the scale were analysed from an exploratory and confirmatory perspective. Exploratory factor analysis showed a one-factor solution explaining 42.3% of the variance; an internal consistency of .846; temporal reliability correlation of .749; convergent validity with the Satisfaction with Life Scale of .521 and criterion validity with positive and negative affect (PANAS), pessimism and optimism (LOT-R) ranging from .270 to .488. Confirmatory factor analysis testing the one-factor solution showed a χ 2 of 65.57 df = 20; CFI of .982, RMSEA of .06, average variance extracted index of .518 and composite reliability index of .841. Results showed that the Spanish version of the FS is a reliable and valid method for measuring high levels of well-being.

“…More specifically, flourishing entails great interest and engagement in daily activities that provide a deep sense of meaning and purpose and through which one experiences feelings of competence, actively contributes to the happiness and well-being of others, enjoys supportive, respectful, and rewarding social relationships, and feels optimistic about one's future [24]. Prior research has found personality traits to be associated with both hedonic [14,[25][26][27][28] and eudaimonic well-being [14,[29][30][31]. Personality traits are considered to be generally fixed or stable [32], however, and researchers have sought to identify factors that are modifiable and can be developed though interventions to promote well-being [13,14,33,34].…”

“…Positive relationships, including academic relational civility [55], represent one important category of resources that could be promoted to enhance well-being and sustainability [11,12,31,55,63]. While academic civility appears to be a promising construct that can be measured reliably and with validity, further research is needed to evaluate its significance.…”

In the 21st century, which has been characterized by complexity, instability, and continuous change, the well-being of individuals is threatened. The health and well-being of individuals are recognized as one of the 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations. From a primary prevention perspective, physical and psychological health can be augmented through the early identification and promotion of key psychological resources that sustain well-being across one's lifetime. With that goal in mind, the present study explored potential relationships between academic relational civility and both hedonic (positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction) and eudaimonic well-being (meaning in life and flourishing), controlling for the effect of personality traits among university students. The Big Five Questionnaire (BFQ), the Academic Relational Civility Scale (ARCS), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), the Meaning in Life Measure (MLM), and the Flourishing Scale (FS), were administered to 241 Italian university students. Regression analyses identified that academic relational civility contributed significantly to hedonic and eudaimonic well-being beyond the contribution of stable personality factors. Academic relational civility may represent one psychological resource for supporting and sustaining hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, suggesting the need for further research and intervention.

“…Several group of papers are included for satisfying the criterion of focusing on the flourishing of young people, which is currently a well-established and measurable psychological construct worldwide (Silva and Caetano, 2011;Sumi, 2013;Villieux et al, 2016;Duan and Xie, 2019). The two papers adopted a holistic PERMA or PERMA-H positive education model (Norrish et al, 2013) whereas the eight remaining papers focused on one or two elements of positive education (Seligman, 2011).…”
