IWB During COVID-19 in Combined UK, Greece, India Dataset

We examined the construct validity of a 28-item survey that was designed to measure inner wellbeing (i.e., individuals’ thoughts and feelings about what they can do and be; White et al., 2014) among individuals in (1) the Global South nation of India (n = 205), (2) the Global North nation of the United Kingdom (n = 392), and (3) the nation of Greece, which is not readily categorized as Global South or Global North (n = 354) during COVID lockdown. Using a series of multiple-group confirmatory factor analyses via LISREL 10.20 (Joreskog & Sorbom, 2019), we tested the hypothesis that a model specifying seven factors (i.e., economic confidence, agency/participation, social connections, close relationships, physical/mental health, competence/self-worth, and values/meaning as intercorrelated domains) would provide a significantly better fit to the correlational data than would a model specifying a one factor (i.e., unidimensional inner wellbeing).

本研究对一项旨在衡量内在福祉（即个体对其所能实现和成为的思考与感受；White 等，2014）的28项调查进行了结构效度检验。该调查在COVID封锁期间针对来自（1）南半球国家印度（n = 205）、（2）北半球国家英国（n = 392）以及（3）既不属于南半球也不属于北半球的希腊（n = 354）的个体进行。通过LISREL 10.20（Joreskog & Sorbom，2019）进行了一系列的多组验证性因素分析，以检验以下假设：一个包含七个因素（即经济信心、能动性/参与度、社会联系、亲密关系、身心健康、能力/自尊以及价值观/意义作为相互关联的领域）的模型，与一个只包含一个因素（即单维度的内在福祉）的模型相比，能显著更好地拟合相关数据。
