摘要

The present study seeks to validate Diener’s flourishing scale in the context of a sizable Hungarian sample and explore its informative characteristics across diverse score ranges to discern the levels of flourishing accurately captured by the instrument. A large cross-sectional sample (N = 1540) was used for the study. The analyses, including Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), established model fit and invariance across distinct groups (sex and education), validating the scale’s construct validity. Correlative validities were assessed by examining associations with Savoring and PERMA constructs, along with their subscales. Additionally, Item Response Theory (IRT) was used to explore the latent relationship between flourishing and its constituent items. The study strongly supported the one-dimensional model of flourishing by confirming its factor structure within the Hungarian context. Measurement invariance across gender and education was established, ensuring consistent measurement across diverse groups. The Flourishing Scale displayed robust validity, correlating significantly with Savoring and PERMA constructs (r =|0.39| to|0.71|). Nevertheless, the IRT analysis revealed limitations for scores above the mean, indicating higher standard errors and reduced precision in assessing flourishing levels, particularly for respondents with elevated scores. The Diener’s flourishing scale demonstrated robust fit and exhibited commendable reliability and validity within the extensive Hungarian sample under investigation. However, the IRT findings underscored the need for cautious interpretation when gauging higher levels of flourishing, as the scale’s precision may be somewhat compromised in this range.
