Psychometric properties of the wellbeing literacy 6-item scale in Chinese military academy cadets by Zhen Jia, Fangfang Zheng, Fangfang Zheng, Feifei Wang, Guoyu Yang

“…The study of well-being literacy thus provides an innovative perspective for enhancing and sustaining individuals’ experiences of well-being.ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the wellbeing literacy 6-item (Well-Lit 6) scale in Chinese military academy cadets.MethodsA total of 3,218 undergraduate students from five military academies in China were recruited to complete questionnaires online.Results(1) The items of the scale showed high discrimination; (2) The alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.986 and the split-half reliability was 0.981, indicating high homogeneous reliability and split-half reliability; (3) The scale model fitted well and displayed structural validity; (4) The correlation between well-being literacy and related indicators was significant, and the calibration correlation and convergent-discriminant validity of the scale were high; (5) After gradually adding demographic variables, known predictors factors and well-being literacy, the ∆R2 for subjective well-being, life satisfaction, depression, and anxiety ranged from 0.036 to 0.067, 0.184 to 0.340, and 0.009 to 0.017, respectively, showing high incremental validity; (6) the total well-being literacy scores differed significantly by gender, grade, and parenting style.ConclusionThe Chinese version of the Well-Lit 6 is reliable and valid in predicting and accessing the subjective well-being, life satisfaction, emotion regulation, and psychological resilience of Chinese military academy cadets.…”
