          Abstract

          Zusammenfassung. Die Komponenten subjektives Wohlbefinden (SWB), Beziehungen, Sinn, Engagement, Können, Optimismus und Autonomie tragen zu umfassendem Wohlbefinden bei. Das Comprehensive Inventory of Thriving (CIT) und die Kurzversion Brief Inventory of Thriving (BIT) von Su, Tay und Diener (2014) messen dieses mit nur einem Instrument. Ziel der Studie war die Validierung des CIT und BIT in einer deutschsprachigen Stichprobe ( N = 1 040). Gesundheits- und Wohlbefindensfragebögen wurden zur Bestimmung der Konstruktvalidität miterhoben. Verschiedene Faktorenmodelle des CIT wurden mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalysen getestet und verglichen. Das Modell mit den 18 CIT-Skalen als Faktoren erster Ordnung sowie SWB und psychologischem Wohlbefinden (PWB) als Faktoren zweiter Ordnung wies die beste Modellgüte auf und bestätigte die traditionelle Differenzierung von Wohlbefinden in SWB und PWB. Zudem bestätigte sich das Einfaktorenmodell des BIT. Beide Fragebögen wiesen eine gute Reliabilität und Konstruktvalidität auf und können im deutschsprachigen Raum zur Messung des umfassenden Wohlbefindens empfohlen werden.

          Validation of a Holistic Measure for the Construct of Well-Being – The German Version of the Comprehensive Inventory of Thriving (CIT) and the Short Version Brief Inventory of Thriving (BIT)

          Abstract. The components subjective well-being (SWB), relationships, meaning, engagement, mastery, optimism, and autonomy contribute to comprehensive well-being. The Comprehensive Inventory of Thriving (CIT) and the short version Brief Inventory of Thriving (BIT) of Su, Tay, and Diener (2014) assess well-being comprehensively. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the questionnaires in a German-speaking sample ( N = 1 040). Construct validity was determined using several questionnaires measuring health and well-being. Different models of the CIT were tested with confirmatory factor analyses and compared. A model with 18 first-order factors including SWB and psychological well-being (PWB) as higher-order factors showed the best model fit and replicated the traditional distinction of well-being in SWB and PWB. Furthermore, the single factor model of the BIT was confirmed. Both questionnaires demonstrated good reliability and construct validity. They can be recommended for the use in a German-speaking population to measure comprehensive well-being.

          Distinguishing optimism from neuroticism (and trait anxiety, self-mastery, and self-esteem): a reevaluation of the Life Orientation Test.

          Research on dispositional optimism as assessed by the Life Orientation Test (Scheier & Carver, 1985) has been challenged on the grounds that effects attributed to optimism are indistinguishable from those of unmeasured third variables, most notably, neuroticism. Data from 4,309 subjects show that associations between optimism and both depression and aspects of coping remain significant even when the effects of neuroticism, as well as the effects of trait anxiety, self-mastery, and self-esteem, are statistically controlled. Thus, the Life Orientation Test does appear to possess adequate predictive and discriminant validity. Examination of the scale on somewhat different grounds, however, does suggest that future applications can benefit from its revision. Thus, we also describe a minor modification to the Life Orientation Test, along with data bearing on the revised scale's psychometric properties.

              Validation and standardization of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener (GAD-7) in the general population.

              The 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) is a practical self-report anxiety questionnaire that proved valid in primary care. However, the GAD-7 was not yet validated in the general population and thus far, normative data are not available. To investigate reliability, construct validity, and factorial validity of the GAD-7 in the general population and to generate normative data. Nationally representative face-to-face household survey conducted in Germany between May 5 and June 8, 2006. Five thousand thirty subjects (53.6% female) with a mean age (SD) of 48.4 (18.0) years. The survey questionnaire included the GAD-7, the 2-item depression module from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and demographic characteristics. Confirmatory factor analyses substantiated the 1-dimensional structure of the GAD-7 and its factorial invariance for gender and age. Internal consistency was identical across all subgroups (alpha = 0.89). Intercorrelations with the PHQ-2 and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were r = 0.64 (P < 0.001) and r = -0.43 (P < 0.001), respectively. As expected, women had significantly higher mean (SD) GAD-7 anxiety scores compared with men [3.2 (3.5) vs. 2.7 (3.2); P < 0.001]. Normative data for the GAD-7 were generated for both genders and different age levels. Approximately 5% of subjects had GAD-7 scores of 10 or greater, and 1% had GAD-7 scores of 15 or greater. Evidence supports reliability and validity of the GAD-7 as a measure of anxiety in the general population. The normative data provided in this study can be used to compare a subject's GAD-7 score with those determined from a general population reference group.
