The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE) is widely used to measure emotional experiences, but not much is known about its cross-cultural utility. The present study evaluated the measurement invariance of the SPANE across adult samples ( N = 12,635; age range = 18-85 years; 58.2% female) from 13 countries (China, Colombia, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, Turkey, and the United States). Configural and partial scalar invariance of the SPANE were supported. Three items capturing specific negative emotions (sad, afraid, and angry) were found to be culturally noninvariant. Our findings suggest that the SPANE’s positive emotion terms and general negative emotion terms (e.g., negative and unpleasant) might be more suitable for cross-cultural studies on emotions and well-being, whereas caution is needed when comparing countries using the SPANE’s specific negative emotion items.

“…SPANE-P and SPANE-N can be subtracted to obtain a balanced measure (SPANE-B) that ranges from −24 to 24. In this study, the adapted version was used for a general sample of Colombians ( 61 ). The internal consistency in this sample was 0.811 for SPANE-P and 0.799 for SPANE-N.…”

Introduction: The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin in 1985, comprises five items with seven response options in terms of agreement–disagreement. Recently, there has been a suggestion to reduce the response options of the SWLS to optimize its applicability in different cultural contexts.Objective: The study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the SWLS with five response options in the Colombian population. Specifically, we studied the dimensionality, invariance by gender and age (among a group of adolescents and emerging adults under 25 years and a group of adults of intermediate age and established adulthood under 59 years), convergent validity (with optimism), and divergent (with pessimism) and concurrent validity with other measures of well-being (flourishing, positive, and negative affects).Methodology: This project was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of the general population. Participants were included if they identified themselves as Colombian and were at least 18 years of age. The final sample comprised 1,255 participants. The average age was 25.62 years (SD = 8.60) ranging from 18 to 67 years of age, and 35.8% of the participants were men. In addition to SWLS, we used the Flourishing Scale (FS), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R), and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (SPANE).Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.842), composite reliability (0.851), and average variance extracted (0.537) showed very good values. CFA was conducted to test the one-dimensional structure of FS, showing excellent goodness of fit [χ(5)2 = 15.774, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.992, TLI = 0.985, RMSEA = 0.042, 90% RMSEA CI (0.020, 0.066), and SRMR = 0.016]. The correlations calculated among life satisfaction (SWLS) with flourishing (FS), positive and negative affects (SPANE), optimism, and pessimism (LOT-R) were statistically significant and as expected. Configural, metric, and scalar invariance across gender and age were confirmed. Percentiles were provided for the total score and for age.Conclusions: The SWLS with five response options has adequate psychometric properties in the Colombian population, and the use of this version (with 5 response options) is recommended due to its greater applicability.

“…The five items consists of (1) in most ways my life is close to my ideal, (2) the conditions of my life are excellent, (3) I am satisfied with my life, (4) so far I have gotten the important things I want in life, and (5) if I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing. In section C, the 12 items of SPANE comprised of two subscales for positive and negative emotional experiences with 5-point Likert scale from 1 (almost never) to 5 (almost every time) (Martín-Carbonell, Checa, Fernández-Daza, Paternina, & Espejo, 2021). These included (1) positive, (2) negative, (3) good, (4) bad, (5) pleasant, (6) unpleasant, (7) happy, (8) sad, (9) joyful, (10) afraid, (11) contented, and (12) angry.…”

The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector plays an important role in the development of a country, providing massive revenues and employment opportunities. However, the challenges of MSMEs sector are now exacerbated with the situation of COVID-19 due to the business limitation and degrading economic situation. In addition to financial difficulties, there is also the concern on the well-being of MSMEs practitioners which can influence the sustainability of the sector. This research was conducted with the purpose of investigating the level of well-being for MSMEs practitioners. The approach of subjective well-being using Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and scale of positive and negative experience (SPANE) were implemented in a form of questionnaire. A total of 119 MSMEs practitioners were collected in this study, with their level of well-being investigated, as well as the challenges and innovations experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings in this study show that the MSMEs practitioners under association support were majority within medium and high levels of well-being, however this study also takes note of practitioners within low-level of well-being. Hence there is the implication challenge to formulate policy intervention to support MSMEs sector which integrate the financial and mental health aspect to maintain the sustainability of the sector.
