PURPOSE. In recent years, interest in incorporating Eastern philosophies in the study of holistic well-being has increased. In describing this renewed understanding of holistic well-being, which focuses on the dual goals of alleviating suffering and achieving enduring happiness, the Eastern notions of ‘affliction’ and ‘equanimity’ are often brought to fore respectively. Nonetheless, there have been few systematic attempts to operationalize constructs surrounding the two concepts. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the two concepts, and to develop an instrument that measures holistic well-being through an affliction-equanimity model. METHOD. An expert panel developed a pool of items, which were tested in a community sample of 2,423 adults through an online questionnaire with other measures of well-being, emotion, quality of life, sense of coherence and mindfulness. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses were conducted to determine the factor structure. Correlational analysis examined the instrument’s convergent validity. RESULTS. Exploratory factor analysis (n = 1228) revealed seven factors, which accounted for 68.9%of variance. Confirmatory factor analysis (n= 1195) showed the first-order sever-factor structure was an adequate fit (CFI = .936; TLI = .926; RMSEA = .057). The seven factors correlated in expected directions with measures of quality of life, mood, meaning of life, mindfulness and hope. For affliction-related characteristics, there were factors related to bodily irritation, emotional vulnerability and spiritual disorientation. For equanimity-related characteristics, there were factors that reflect a sense of vitality, an empathetic mind for both self and others, an accepting attitude to changes, and a willingness to take care of one’s spiritual well-being. CONCLUSION. The resultant 30-item Holistic Well-being Scale (HWS) had seven factors related to affliction and equanimity. Results showed it had good psychometric properties and validity, and suggested its usefulness in future studies of holistic well-being.展开▼
机译:目的。近年来,对将东方哲学纳入整体福祉研究的兴趣不断增加。在描述这种对整体幸福感的重新认识时,它着重于减轻痛苦和获得持久幸福的双重目标,东方的“享乐”和“安逸”的概念常常被提拔出来。但是,很少有系统的尝试来操作围绕这两个概念的构造。这项研究的目的是提供这两个概念的概述,并开发一种通过痛苦-公平模型衡量整体幸福感的工具。方法。一个专家小组开发了一组项目,通过在线调查问卷在2,423名成年人的社区样本中对这些项目进行了测试,并采用了其他的幸福感,情感,生活质量,连贯性和正念度。进行探索性和确认性分析以确定因素结构。相关分析检查了该工具的收敛效度。结果。探索性因素分析(n = 1228)显示了七个因素,占方差的68.9%。验证性因素分析(n = 1195)显示一阶切断因子结构是合适的(CFI = .936; TLI = .926; RMSEA = .057)。七个因素在预期的方向上与生活质量,情绪,生活意义,正念和希望的度量相关。对于与痛苦有关的特征,存在与身体刺激,情绪脆弱和精神迷失相关的因素。对于与宁静有关的特征,有一些因素反映出一种活力,对自己和他人的同理心,对变化的接受态度以及愿意照顾自己的精神健康。结论。所得的30个项目的整体幸福感量表(HWS)具有与痛苦和安定相关的七个因素。结果表明,它具有良好的心理测量特性和有效性,并暗示其在未来整体健康研究中的有用性。展开▼
