Given the growing concerns about children's mental health, accurate and easily administrable measurement tools are urgently needed. This research represents the first in-depth investigation of the SCWBS's factor structure and psychometric characteristics in the largest sample of children under 15 years using multidimensional item response theory. Engaging 1701 children from fourth and sixth grades, we analyzed three SCWBS models: unidimensional, two-factor, and bi-factor models. We also investigated measurement invariance in gender and grade categories, as well as the convergent validity of the scale. The results suggest that, for this age group, the most appropriate approach to evaluate well-being is a unidimensional one, rather than separating it into subjective and psychological well-being. Additionally, we propose a three-point Likert scale for younger participants. Thus, based on our results and previous findings, we hypothesize that the sample under study perceived well-being per se, not specific domains of well-being.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"169-186"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144817001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of a tool that accounts for the multifaceted nature of kindness could facilitate progress in this area. A review of the research suggests that kindness is a complex construct, which can be classified as an attitude consisting of three dimensions: 1) emotional, related to the experience of positive emotions toward other people; 2) cognitive, manifested in beliefs about other people or humanity in general; and 3) behavioral, associated with the undertaking of specific actions aimed at improving the situation of others. A review of research and literature led to the construction of the Kind Attitude Scale (KAS). Study 1 aimed to verify its factor structure. It confirmed the validity of the proposed model, with the three dimensions of kindness. Study 2 further corroborated the three-factor model of kindness by examining the theoretical validity of the KAS. The obtained results confirmed the proposed three-factor model, indicating that the KAS is a reliable, gender-invariant measure and can be utilized in future research on kindness.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"197-207"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144835458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Relying on a nationally representative sample of 9,007 school attendees in Luxembourg (MAGE = 14.7; SDAGE = 2.4; 48.7% female) and on both classical test theory and item response theory, I assessed the scalability, reliability, monotonicity, factorial structure, convergent validity, and sociodemographic measurement invariance of the WHO-5. Measurement invariance was investigated across groups differing in terms of academic performance, country of birth, language, sex, socioeconomic status, and type of school. The WHO-5 exhibited strong scalability (Loevinger's H = .550) as well as satisfactory reliability (McDonald's ω = .84), monotonicity, factorial validity, and convergent validity. Measurement invariance held across all the examined subgroups. This study suggests that the WHO-5 is a sound, unidimensional measure of well-being that can be used for comparisons across various sociodemographic adolescent groups.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"187-196"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145337196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the increasing use of the Hedonic, Eudaimonic, and Extrinsic Motives for Activities (HEEMA) scale to measure happiness orientations across diverse populations, evidence is lacking regarding its measurement invariance, which leaves the validity of group comparisons in happiness orientation uncertain. Thus, we tested the measurement invariance of the HEEMA scale using data from 1,182 U.S. participants (ages 18-86) and 1,531 Chinese participants (ages 18-75). Results showed that the configural and metric invariance of the scale with four factors (i.e., pleasure, comfort, eudaimonic, and extrinsic orientations) was maintained across countries, age groups, and sex groups. Partial scalar invariance was established across countries, and full scalar invariance was established across age and sex groups. Among the invariant models, we found group differences in the levels of pleasure, comfort, eudaimonic, and extrinsic orientations. Moreover, these happiness orientations had differential associations with two criterion indicators: mental illness and proenvironmental behaviors. Our findings support the use of the HEEMA scale in U.S. and Chinese contexts and in different sex and age groups, and also demonstrate the distinction among four orientations.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"145-157"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144731897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected from three distinct samples: adolescents (n = 453), young adults (n = 361), and adults (n = 358). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a two-factor structure, with 12 items reflecting independent but related hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing dimensions. The measure demonstrated strong internal reliability and evidence of convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity across all age groups. Regression analyses further indicated that the HWM contributed unique variance to the prediction of general health indicators (physical, social, and mental health) and psychological problems (depression, anxiety, and somatization), above the effects of gender, age, and psychological wellbeing. These results suggest that the HWM is a valid and reliable measure for assessing both aspects of wellbeing across age groups and can support strategies aimed at promoting overall mental health.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"158-168"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145251793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as the BFI-2 employs a Likert format with agree-disagree options, it suffers from common problems of the Likert format, including acquiescence bias and method effects due to the negatively worded items. In this research, we converted the BFI-2 into three alternative formats: Expanded, Item-Specific-Full, and Item-Specific-Light. These formats have tailored response options for each item and avoid the use of negatively worded items, thereby addressing the issues associated with the Likert format. Across two studies (N = 1,335 and N = 1,451), we randomly assigned Canadian undergraduate students to complete the BFI-2 in the original Likert format or one of the three alternative formats. Results showed that the Likert and alternative formats exhibit similar predictive validity. However, the alternative formats-particularly the Expanded format-showed better psychometric properties, including enhanced factor structure, increased reliability, and possibly reduced careless responding. We recommend that researchers consider adopting the BFI-2 in these alternative formats and adapting other Likert scales to these alternative formats.","PeriodicalId":16707,"journal":{"name":"Journal of personality assessment","volume":" ","pages":"250-271"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144794749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
