The scales of general well-being (SGWB) (2017, background): “Not only does it measure many constructs included in a variety of measures of well-being, but it does so while overcoming some of the dimensionality and discriminant validity issues found in previous measures (e.g. Chen et al., 2013; Springer & Hauser, 2006).”
Investigating the Structural Validity of Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scales Across Two Samples (2009, methodology): “…and items, have been applied to a number of different applied psychological areas (Clarke, Marshall, Ryff & Wheaton, 2001; Fava, Ruini, Rafanelli, Finos, Conti, & Grandi, 2004), despite unresolved questions relating to its validity (e.g. Springer & Hauser, 2006; Springer, Hauser, & Freese, 2006).”
Bad news indeed for Ryff’s six-factor model of well-being (2006, background): “2 For convenience, we use ‘‘we’’ and ‘‘our’’ throughout this reply in reference to Springer and Hauser (2006) ,”
Ryff’s Six-factor Model of Psychological Well-being, A Spanish Exploration (2008, methodology): “The three-factor model is the one suggested by Springer and Hauser (2006). Furthermore, the three-factor model is extended with a model that has one underlying wellbeing dimension.”
The ‘What’, ‘Why’ and ‘How’ of Employee Well-Being: A New Model (2009, background): “Although there has been some vigorous debate about the validity of the PWB construct as measured by Ryff and Keyes (1995) particularly relating to the abridged scale (e.g., Abbott et al. 2006; Springer and Hauser 2006; Springer et al. 2006), some studies have”
The Working for Wellness Program: RCT of an Employee Well-Being Intervention (2012, background): “Although Ryff (1989) reported good internal consistency and test–retest validity for each of the sub-scales, some have questioned the reliability of the factor structure (e.g., Abbott et al. 2006; Springer and Hauser 2006; Springer et al. 2006) This was also a problem in the current study.”
Emotional and psychological well-being in children: the development and validation of the Stirling Children’s Well-being Scale (2015, background): “…the understanding of what constitutes well-being has been a very long and lively debate, essentially focusing on two predominant views; the hedonic and the eudaimonic perspectives (van Dierendonck, 2004; Keyes, 2002; McDowell, 2009; Ryan & Deci, 2001; Springer & Hauser, 2006; Tennant et al., 2007).”
Associations Between Mindfulness, Psychological Well-Being, and Subjective Well-Being with Respect to Contemplative Practice (2014, positive): “While multiple forms of the SPWB have been used, the 18-item version is the most frequently employed (Springer and Hauser 2006).”
Best news yet on the six-factor model of well-being (2006, methodology): “One conclusion, looming in the background of Springer and Hauser’s paper and our response to it, is that the confirmatory factor analytic methods used to evaluate the well-being constructs are inadequate to the task when the constructs are deeply measured. If such methods are employed, we would argu”
How do leadership motives affect informal and formal leadership emergence (2013, methodology): “Other works (e.g., Springer & Hauser, 2006) suggested that item order may also contribute to reduced fit.”
