Abstract

The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS). A total of 742 Italian participants (84.6% female), with a mean age of 33.08 years (SD = 12.44) took part in a cross-sectional survey study. Confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis were used to examine the psychometric properties. The CFA showed that the SWEMWBS had a unidimensional structure with robust psychometric properties and showed good internal consistencies (Cronbach's alpha 0.88; McDonald's omega 0.91). Overall, most items showed no substantial differential item functioning in the Rasch analysis, except for Item 7, indicating that female participants reported more difficulty with this item than the male participants. The SWEMWBS was positively associated with life satisfaction and negativity associated with general psychological distress (i.e., anxiety, stress, and depression). In sum, the SWEMWBS showed robust psychometric properties capable of assessing positive aspects of mental health and well-being among Italian-speaking adults.

沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康简易量表（SWEMWBS）：采用确证因子分析和拉什分析法在意大利进行验证。

本研究考察了沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康简易量表（SWEMWBS）的心理测量特性。共有 742 名意大利人（84.6% 为女性）参加了这项横断面调查研究，他们的平均年龄为 33.08 岁（SD = 12.44）。研究采用了确认性因素分析和 Rasch 分析来检验心理测量特性。CFA结果表明，SWEMWBS具有单维结构和稳健的心理测量特性，并显示出良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha 0.88；McDonald's omega 0.91）。总体而言，除第 7 项外，大多数项目在 Rasch 分析中都没有显示出实质性的项目功能差异，这表明女性受试者比男性受试者在该项目上遇到了更多困难。SWEMWBS 与生活满意度呈正相关，而与一般心理困扰（即焦虑、压力和抑郁）呈负相关。总之，SWEMWBS 显示出强大的心理测量特性，能够评估讲意大利语的成年人心理健康和幸福的积极方面。
