“…Regarding other types of validity, the present study found similar levels of convergent and criterion validity as well as similar internal consistency compared with previous validations (Silva and Caetano 2013;Sumi 2014a). Temporal reliability is higher than the original validation of the scale (Diener et al 1985) but lower than japanese study (Sumi 2014b).…”

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.

“…The items use a 5-point response format ranging from 1 (very rarely or never) to 5 (very often or always). The subscales had good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alphas = 0.86 to 0.93) and test-retest reliability over one month (rs = 0.60 and 0.57), and the items loaded onto two separate factors (Sumi, 2013(Sumi, , 2014. Convergent validity was supported by correlations with scores on several well-being measures (Sumi, 2013).…”

“…Psychosocial flourishing as eudaimonic well-being was measured using the Japanese version of the 8-item Flourishing Scale (Diener et al, 2010;Sumi, 2013Sumi, , 2014. The items of this measure describe broad and important aspects of human functioning, and are rated on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).…”

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of a Japanese translation of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire-Short Form (MLQ-SF-J), a brief self-report measure of the presence of meaning in life. Data were collected from two samples of 382 Japanese college students (177 women, 205 men; mean age = 20.92 years, SD = 0.66) and 407 Japanese adult workers (196 women, 211 men; mean age = 38.83 years, SD = 9.88). Exploratory factor analysis clearly supported the expected one-factor structure of the MLQ-SF-J in both samples. The MLQ-SF-J was found to have good internal consistency reliability in both samples (Cronbach's alphas = 0.80 and 0.86) and 4-week test-retest reliability in the student sample (r = 0.70). As expected, moderate correlations with hedonic well-being scores and high correlations with eudaimonic well-being scores were generally found in both samples. Correlations between scores on the MLQ-SF-J and a purpose in life scale were also high, as expected. The MLQ-SF-J was found to be a reliable and valid measure useful for a large-scale research on purpose in life in the Japanese population.

“…The scale has well-established psychometric characteristics in different countries, such as America , Japan (Sumi, 2014), Portugal (Silva & Caetano, 2011), New Zealand (Hone, Jarden, & Schofield, 2015) and Germany (Esch, Jose, Gimpel, von Scheidt, & Michalsen, 2013). The majority of findings illustrated good reliability (Cronbach's α higher than .80) and convergent validity (higher correlations with other well-being measurements).…”

ii Meus pais sempre acreditaram que, apesar de todas as dificuldades, eu nunca me permitiria nem pensar em desistir enquanto não conseguisse alcançar esta meta. Todas as vezes que fraquejei, que chorei e me descabelei, prontamente disseram: "tenha força, o fim já esteve mais longe", e eu continuei seguindo.Aos meus irmãos, Laís e Rafael, que apesar da distância, sempre demonstraram o orgulho que sentiam por eu estar aqui, fazendo o que fiz. Obrigada por terem compreendido o quanto isto era importante para mim, e terem perdoado a minha ausência constante. À João, meu amado e copiloto nesta viagem. Você esteve presente todo o tempo, aguentando todos os surtos e o cansaço, comemorando comigo as vitórias e me consolando pelos fracassos. Muito obrigada pelo carinho e dedicação, por me ver tarde da noite no computador e me levar um lanche, por me ver insone devido às preocupações e ficar acordado até eu dormir, por me ajudar com as tarefas do dia-a-dia, por tentar fazer a minha vida mais fácil e, principalmente, mais feliz. Eu não teria conseguido sem a sua ajuda. Queria aproveitar e agradecer também o Barney, que tem exatamente a idade deste doutorado! Ele nasceu junto com ele e também foi um companheiro inseparável durante todo o tempo que trabalhei nesta tese.Aos meus colegas de trabalho do IESB Oeste, principalmente meus coordenadores e superiores, que sempre me apoiaram e foram compreensivos com as minhas questões em função do doutorado. Ter sido professora no IESB ao longo destes 3 anos e meio, na minha opinião, é o que ajuda a legitimar o título que agora obtenho. Aos meus colegas professores, que também sempre ajudaram no que puderam, fosse aplicando questionários, corrigindo minhas provas quando eu estava no sanduíche ou simplesmente dando apoio moral! v Um MEGA obrigada aos meus alunos, principalmente aos membros do meu grupo de pesquisa do IESB, a Heurística. Vocês não imaginam o quanto foram indispensáveis, pois eu não teria conseguido metade disso tudo se não fosse vocês me ajudando a imprimir questionários, coletar e tabular dados. Minha tese tem um pedaço de cada um de vocês.Às minhas companheiras de doutorado, principalmente Elzi, Manu e Pricila.Dividimos as dificuldades, fúrias e revoltas, assim como também as vitórias e felicidades.Agradeço muito à UnB por ter nos juntado, mas o papel de vocês na minha vida vai muito além da academia, vocês são minhas amigas do coração.Aos meus amigos de Aracaju, principalmente minhas "irmãs" Taira, Nathy e Mari, que sempre se preocuparam comigo, me deram força e acreditaram em mim. Vocês nunca deixaram a minha distância afetar nada, paravam a vida pra me ver quando eu estava em Aracaju, e até vir pra cá todas juntas vocês vieram! Isso me fortaleceu mais do que vocês imaginam, pois eu sei que não importa onde eu esteja, nossa ligação vai continuar para sempre.A special thanks to my English supervisor John Arnold, from Loughborough University. You helped to make my big dream of studying and living in the UK come true, and I will always be grateful for that. Beyond tha...
