Flourishing Scale and Scale of Positive and Negative Experience (Chinese Community Sample)

Diener and colleagues (2010) constructed concise assessment tools to assess flourishing and Positive and Negative emotions (SPANE). The purpose of the study is to validate the scale in traditional Chinese using a community sample. Using CFA, we showed that both scales were adequate. We also found that female and higher social classes participants scored higher in flourishing. Diener, E, Wirtz D, Tov W, Kim-Prieto C, Choi, D., Oishi S, & Biswas-Diener R.
