“…Given that the meaning of gratitude constructs may vary because of differing cultural characteristics, gratitude measures should be validated before being used in research (or practice) with different groups (e.g. culture, age) (Irmak & Kuruüzüm ). Our first major goal was thus to evaluate evidence for the reliability and validity of the GQ‐5 in a large sample of Chinese early adolescents.…”

Background This study was conducted to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 5-item Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-5). Method The sample consisted of 2093 middle school students (46.8% males) in mainland China. Confirmatory factor analysis and multigroup confirmatory factor analysis were performed to examine the factor structure and the measurement equivalence across gender. The convergent validity, Cronbach's α and mean interitem correlations of the GQ-5 were also evaluated. Results The results provided evidence of internal consistency reliability through a Cronbach's α of 0.812 and a mean interitem correlation of 0.463 for the total sample. The results also supported a one-dimensional factor structure. In addition, convergent validity was assessed by statistically significant positive correlations between the GQ-5 and the two subscales of the Children's Hope Scale (CHS) and the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS) total score. Finally, multigroup confirmatory factor analysis also demonstrated measurement equivalence across gender. Subsequent analyses of latent mean revealed gender differences in early adolescent male and female students. Conclusions The Chinese version of the GQ-5 appears to be a reliable and valid measure of gratitude among Chinese early adolescents. Early adolescent female students reported higher gratitude than early adolescent male students.

“…The validation studies of the MSLSS have been conducted with samples from different nations but mostly from western individualistic cultures. LS and its constructs could differ depending on cultural characteristics and LS scales should be validated in different cultures before using measurement tools (Irmak and Kuruüzüm 2009). In their study, Greenspoon and Saklofske (1998) tested Huebner , s proposed five-factor structure through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the LISREL module of the SPSS statistical package.…”

“…Internal consistency was considered to assess the reliability of the results across items within the adopted scale by using Cronbach's α coefficient. For internal validity, a two-step procedure was performed to confirm the factor structure of the scale by means of exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) [26], as reported in other studies in different theoretical frameworks (e.g., [27] [28] [29] [30]).…”

The present study examines the factorial structure and assesses the psychometric properties of the adapted multidimensional Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II Scale, considering a sample of Italian university students who participated to an online survey. The original 52-items Scale showed a high overall internal consistency. Four of the six subscales were associated with good values of the Cronbach's α coefficient, whereas two subscales had lower values. Hence corrected item-total correlation was calculated and 26 items that decreased the scale's reliability were deleted. The remaining 26 items were first subjected to Principal Component Analysis that suggested a conceptually meaningful five-factor model. This result was further supported by the first-order confirmatory factor analysis, in which all the factor loadings were statistically significant. The internal consistency and the composite reliability for the reduced version of the Scale and its subscales have shown a good reliability for the measurement models. The multidimensionality of the scale was also confirmed by a second-order factor model.
