摘要
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the construct validity of Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) using exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM). The data were drawn from the national survey of Midlife in the United States conducted during 1994 and 1995. Measurement models assuming different number of factors (1-6 factors) and considering the effect of negatively wording items were specified and compared to determine optimal number of underlying factors. The discriminant validity was assessed following Farrell's suggestions. The results showed the discriminant validity was questionable due to five indicators with considerable cross-loadings.
