There is a shortage of psychological tools to assess the mental well-being of Bangladeshi people covering the hedonic and the eudaimonic aspects of well-being. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Mental Health Continuum Short Form as this instrument assesses both the hedonic and the eudaimonic aspects of well-being. This study utilized online survey data (n = 361). Item analysis results showed that this scale had good discrimination indices, internal consistency reliability, and acceptable average inter-item correlations. Confirmatory factor analysis lent support to the three-factor correlated model with good model fits and sufficient factor loadings. Results from the multidimensional graded response model also supported the efficiency of this scale to assess the mental well-being of Bangladeshi adults. This scale had moderate correlations with perceived stress and anxiety. Overall, findings suggested this scale as a reliable and valid tool for assessing mental well-being. This scale would help mental health practitioners to assess mental well-being and formulate relevant interventions. |
