“…As in the primary study (Diener et al, 2010), CFA showed a one-factor structure. The one-factor model was also consistent with findings from China (Duan & Xie, 2019), France (Villieux et al, 2016), Italy (Giuntoli et al, 2017), Japan (Sumi, 2014a), Taiwan (Lin, 2015), Iran (Fassih-Ramandi et al, 2020), Portugal (Silva & Caetano, 2013), Russia (Didino et al, 2019), Spain (Ramires-Maestre et al, 2017, India (Premchandran & Priyadarshi, 2018), Egypt (Salama-Younes, 2017), Canada (Romano, Ferro, Patte, Diener, & Leatherdale, 2020), and New Zealand (Hone, Jorden, & Schofield, 2014). Results also provided support for full metric measurement invariance between students and employees.…”

The flourishing Scale (FS) is a measure of overall life well-being. The aim of the study was to assess the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the Arabic version of the FS in the Saudi Arabian context. Data was collected from two samples: 969 students at two universities and 299 full-time employees working in multiple sectors. Internal consistency of the FS was examined by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient to test relaibility. To evaluate convergent and discriminant validity, the FS was compared with other measures of well-being, happiness, and depression. In order to examine the factor structure and the measurement invariance of the FS across study samples, confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group confirmatory factor analysis were performed. The FS showed good internal reliability as well as convergent and discriminant validity. Results also provided support for a one-factor and an invariant structure of the FS. Taken together, these results suggest that the FS Arabic version is a reliable and valid measure for the Arabic cultural context.

“…As mentioned earlier, the samples from international validation studies had different features. A previous study recruited married employees from the information and technology service sector (Premchandran & Priyadarshi, 2018). Another study validated the scale among older people (Didino et al, 2019), students and full‐time employees (Silva & Caetano, 2013), students and patients with chronic pain (Ramírez‐Maestre et al, 2017), and older adults (Didino et al, 2019).…”

The present study aims to validate the Flourishing Scale (FS) in a convenience sample of 233 special education teachers. The FS's psychometric properties were investigated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). EFA had a one‐factor solution that explained 49.9% of the variance, a Cronbach's alpha internal consistency of .83, and a McDonald omega coefficient of .83. For the scale validity, the FS had a 0.36 to 0.56 correlation with the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SLWS), Happiness Measures (HM), and Life Satisfaction (LS), indicating convergent validity. The FS was also correlated with the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, implying its discriminant validity. The FS's one‐factor model produced good fit indices when running the CFA. Multi‐group confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was used to evaluate measurement invariance. With one non‐invariant item, the result revealed partial scalar invariance across gender and marital status groups. There were no differences across gender and marital status when the latent mean differences were also evaluated. The results revealed no statistically significant differences in FS between males and females, or between single and married participants. The limitations and implications of the study are discussed.
