WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Psychological Well-Being Scale Test

Psychological Well-Being Scale Test

well-being

This self-report measure is designed to assess perceived psychological well-being across multiple domains. The Psychological Well-Being Scale provides a brief, structured snapshot of how an individual appraises their functioning and internal experience.

The instrument consists of 25 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Items sample affective, cognitive, motivational/volitional, reflective, and values/meaning-related facets of well-being, supporting both a global index and domain-level interpretation as appropriate to the scoring approach. It was developed by Carol D. Ryff.

The Psychological Well-Being Scale may be used in clinical, educational, or research settings as a screening or descriptive measure to inform case formulation and monitor change over time. Results should be interpreted in context of the respondent’s developmental level, relevant norms, and other clinical information.
