“…Second, Spanish and Colombian Spanish are different in some aspects, and the use of a translated scale into Spanish may not be equivalent in both countries. Third, although the authors assessed invariance between samples, cross-cultural adaptations require semantic, idiomatic, experiential and conceptual equivalence (Arafat et al 2016;Muñiz et al 2016), not only metric equivalence. Fourth, the Pozo-Muñoz version of the FS used a 5-point Likert scale rather than the 7-point Likert scale used by the original FS and all other validations (Diener et al 2010;Hone et al 2014a, b;Sumi 2014a;Silva and Caetano 2013;Tang et al 2014) not justifying the change theoretically nor statistically.…”

Well-being research and its measurement have grown in the last two decades. The objective of this study was to adapt and validate the Flourishing Scale in a sample of Spanish adults. This was a cross-sectional study using a non-probabilistic sample of 999 Spanish general adult population participants. The psychometric properties of the scale were analysed from an exploratory and confirmatory perspective. Exploratory factor analysis showed a one-factor solution explaining 42.3% of the variance; an internal consistency of .846; temporal reliability correlation of .749; convergent validity with the Satisfaction with Life Scale of .521 and criterion validity with positive and negative affect (PANAS), pessimism and optimism (LOT-R) ranging from .270 to .488. Confirmatory factor analysis testing the one-factor solution showed a χ 2 of 65.57 df = 20; CFI of .982, RMSEA of .06, average variance extracted index of .518 and composite reliability index of .841. Results showed that the Spanish version of the FS is a reliable and valid method for measuring high levels of well-being.

“…Internal consistency of D-Lit Bangla was found 0.77 (Cronbach's alpha) which suggest good reliability and aligns with D-Lit original (0.70), Greek version (0.88), Italian (0.92) and Arabic (0.78) validation study [7,12,16,17]. The face validity was assessed during the back translation and others steps during preparation of the final D-Lit Bangla questionnaire before the data collection starts [11,13,14]. The content validity was assessed in the steps of back translation, expert review, expert committee opinion and dropping of 3 item as well as addition of 1 item was done after following the standard guidelines and finally D-Lit Bangla comprised of 20 items was finalized [9,10].…”

“…The respondents were the undergraduate students of the department of Pharmacy, English, Business Administration and graduate students of the department of Public Health; willing to participate in the study. Sample size was estimated on basis of 10:1 ratio of participants to item as different recommendations are available regarding the ratio with consideration of rules of thumb as participants to variables 2:1 to 20:1 [9,11,[13][14][15]. The questionnaire pertain twenty statements and the respondents were requested to report the appropriateness of each statements regarding depression in different aspects.…”

Background: Increased suicide literacy and reduced stigma toward suicide facilitate the care-seeking for suicidal behavior. However, no attempt has been identified to determine these two vital aspects in Bangladesh. Objectives:We aimed to validate the literacy of suicide scale and stigma of suicide scale into Bangla along with the determination of the level of suicide literacy and stigma toward suicide. Methods:We conducted this study between April and June 2021. Data were collected from medical school and university students by Google form. We used a questionnaire consisting of four segments (i.e., sociodemographic questionnaire, a questionnaire for suicidal behavior, Bangla literacy of suicide scale [LOSS-B], and Bangla stigma of suicide scale [SOSS-B]) for data collection. We tested the psychometric properties of the scales in a sample of 529 students and examined factors associated with suicide stigma and literacy. Results:The mean age of the students was 22.61 ± 1.68 (range 18-27) years, 274 (51.8%) were males, 476 (89.9%) were graduate students, and 490 (92.6%) were unmarried. The mean score of LOSS was 4.27 ± 1.99 ranging from 0 to 10. Factor analysis revealed acceptable psychometric properties of SOSS-B. The literacy was significantly higher in females, students of medicine, having a family history of suicidal attempts, and a history of student nonfatal attempts, while stigma was significantly lower among the females and a history of past attempts. Conclusions:This study revealed the level of literacy and stigma and culturally tested the psychometric properties of the LOSS-B and SOSS-B among university students in Bangladesh.
