Popis: The International Survey of Children’s Well-Being (ISCWeB) uses a psychometric scale measuring the psychological well-being of children named the Children’s Worlds Psychological Well-Being Scale (CW-PSWBS). The CW-PSWBS has been used in 35 countries involved in the third wave of this international project, which includes a representative sample of West Java. This study aims to analyze the adaptation of the CW-PSWBS for use in Indonesia and validate the adapted Bahasa Indonesian version. A representative sample of 12-year-old students in West Java (N = 7,951; 49% boys; 51% girls) was obtained through cluster random sampling. The adaptation process involved several steps, including translation, a focus group discussion to test the legibility of the translated items, revising the translated items, piloting the revised-translated items, and back-translating. The next step involved testing the fit of the psychometric scale using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). A multi-group CFA was used to test the gender metric and scalar invariance of the scores. The results showed that the CW-PSWBS displays excellent fit and is a robust instrument for measuring psychological well-being in Indonesian children. Metric and scalar invariance were supported, meaning all statistics are comparable between genders, and different answering styles between boys and girls are not suspected.
