Psychometric evaluation of the Japanese version of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) in adolescents.
Aim: The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is an assessment tool used worldwide to assess emotional, social, and psychological well-being. This study examined the structure, reliability, and validity of the Japanese version of the MHC-SF among adolescents.
Methods: In total, 1588 adolescents aged 15-18 years completed the assessment (54.8% female; age mean ± standard deviation = 16.3 ± 0.94 years). The factor structure of the MHC-SF was evaluated using confirmatory factor analyses. The internal consistency, concurrent validity, and measurement invariance across sex and age were examined.
Results: A three-factor model of the MHC-SF yielded the best fit compared with the one- and two-factor models. Internal consistency was confirmed by a Cronbach's alpha (>0.8). Measurement invariance was observed across sex and age. Convergent and divergent validity were demonstrated by assessing the relationships with other measurements.
Conclusion: This study established a three-factor model of the MHC-SF in Japanese adolescents. We confirmed the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the MHC-SF for assessing emotional, social, and psychological well-being in adolescents.
