“…For this reason, a key component of the questionnaire validation process is adaptation to the context in which it will be used, that includes appropriate translation to relevant languages, as well as the use of cognitive testing (interviewing) and pilot testing. The latter two thus enable and mitigate possible misunderstandings that may arise (see Savahl et al 2019). This is in line with international best practice, such as the International Test Commission Guidelines (2016).…”

“…Multiple item measures include those that measure global life satisfaction (Students' Life Satisfaction Scale [SLSS]) and those measuring multiple dimensions (Personal Well-Being Index-School Children, [PWI-SC] the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale, [MSLSS] and the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale [BMSLSS]). These measures have been tested and show good validity across a range of contexts (Casas and Bello 2012;González-Carrasco et al 2019;Rees and Dinisman 2015;Savahl et al 2019).…”

Children’s Perspectives on Scale Response Options of Subjective Well-Being Measures: A Comparison between Numerical and Verbal-Response Formats

It is crucial to establish the validity of existing measures of children's subjective wellbeing (SWB) for use within specific contexts. Two important measurement issues that implicate the validly of SWB scales are 'question framing' and 'response options'. Fundamental to the latter is the concept of scale granularity, which refers to the number of response options imposed on a scale. However, the majority of studies on the topic have used adult and not child samples. The overarching aim of the study was to explore how children from three different contexts (Catalonia, Cape Town and North-Western Romania) perceive, understand, and make sense of SWB instruments, using focus group interviews and thematic analysis. A key finding of the study was the similarities in children's understandings of the response options across these contexts. While this does not represent a claim for a 'universal understanding' of measurement scale response formats, it is suggesting that there are similar cognitive processes that children across the contexts apply when making sense of and deciding on which response option to endorse (for both verbal and numerical formats). Another key finding is the unique perspective on the process of how children make sense of the scale declarative statement in relation to these response options, and the life aspects they draw on for the final endorsement. Future studies should endeavour to focus on a range of different contexts and cohorts of children and include various types of measurement scales and response options.

“…Scores higher than 0.950 for the CFI and scores below 0.05 for the RMSEA and SRMR were regarded as a good fit. Improvement of model fit was achieved by the consideration of modification indices, standardized residual covariances, and the expected parameter change (Savahl et al, 2019). Measurement invariance was used to compare the results across provincial regions and was tested using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) to ensure meaningful, reliable, and unambiguous group comparisons (Meredith, 1993;Millsap and Olivera-Aguilar, 2012).…”

A growing body of research has provided evidence for the cognitive motivational construct of hope as a psychological strength, particularly for children in adverse social circumstances. In children, hope is defined as a set of cognitions focused on children's agency to contemplate workable goals, to identify pathways to achieve those goals and the intrinsic beliefs about their capacity to activate sustained movement toward those goals. Using data from the third wave of the Children's Worlds International Survey on Children's Well-Being, the study aimed to explore children's hope amongst a random population-based sample of children in South Africa. The study further aimed to explore children's level of hope across the nine provincial regions of South Africa. Data were collected using Snyder et al.'s (1997) Children's Hope Scale (CHS). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to analyze the data, with multi-group CFA used to analyze the data across provincial regions. The study found an appropriate fit structure for the CHS using the overall pooled sample. The mean score on the CHS for the national sample was of 4.781 (SD = 1.082). Measurement invariance demonstrated the tenability of scalar invariance, which indicates comparability across correlations, regressions and mean scores. Mean scores ranged from 4.511 (SD = 1.163) for the Northern Cape to 4.982. (SD = 0.974) for the Western Cape. Five provinces (Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, Free State, Mpumalanga, and KwaZulu Natal) scored below the national mean, while four provinces (North West, Western Cape, Limpopo, and Gauteng) scored above.

“…Salah satu domain dalam kehidupan anak adalah teman dan bagaimana anak mempersepsi pertemanannya (Rees et al, 2020). Kepuasan dalam hidup anak terkait dengan relasi yang dibangun oleh anak dengan orang-orang di sekitarnya, termasuk dengan teman (Mínguez, 2020;Savahl et al, 2020). Goswami (2012) menjelaskan bahwa relasi positif dengan teman merupakan salah satu faktor yang memberikan efek bagi SWB anak.…”

Pandemi COVID-19 telah memasuki tahun kedua dan membatasi relasi sosial anak dan remaja dengan teman- temannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji persepsi anak dan remaja mengenai relasinya dengan teman di masa pandemi terhadap subjective well-being (SWB) serta menguji mode komunikasi yang digunakan oleh anak dan remaja untuk berinteraksi dengan teman yang berperan terhadap SWB. Partisipan penelitian ini (N = 1,657; 45.1% perempuan; 54.9% laki-laki) adalah anak dan remaja usia 10-18 tahun (M = 14.85) di Jawa Barat. Pengambilan data dilakukan secara dalam jaringan (daring) menggunakan Google Form dengan teknik sampling convenience. SWB diukur menggunakan Children’s Worlds Subjective Well-Being Scale 5 items (CW-SWBS5), sedangkan persepsi mengenai relasi dengan teman diukur menggunakan alat ukur relasi dengan teman dari Children’s Worlds. Data dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear berganda dan analisis deskriptif menggunakan ANOVA. Hasil menunjukkan persepsi anak bahwa mereka memiliki teman yang cukup, teman yang biasanya baik, dan teman yang memberikan dukungan saat anak memiliki masalah, berkontribusi positif terhadap SWB anak, di mana skor SWB secara signifikan lebih tinggi dibandingkan skor SWB anak yang mempersepsi tidak memiliki cukup teman, teman biasanya tidak baik, dan teman tidak memberikan dukungan saat anak memiliki masalah. Penggunaan mode komunikasi voice call, Twitter, video call, dan Instagram yang digunakan untuk berinteraksi dengan teman pada tahun kedua pandemi dapat memprediksi SWB anak dan remaja. Guna mempertahankan tingkat SWB anak dan remaja di masa pandemi, hendaknya orang tua mengizinkan anak tetap menjalin relasi sosial dengan teman-temannya menggunakan mode komunikasi daring di masa pembatasan jarak sosial di bawah supervisi orang tua.
