20.500.12556/RUL-124980 Measurement invariance of the subjective happiness scale across countries, gender, age, and time The purpose of this study was to examine measurement invariance of the Subjective Happiness Scale across countries, gender, and age groups and across time by multigroup confirmatory factor analysis. Altogether, 4,977 participants from nine European, American, and Australian countries were included in the study. Our results revealed that both configural and metric invariance held across countries, but scalar invariance was only partially confirmed with one item yielding varying intercepts in different countries. Measurement invariance was also confirmed across gender and age groups. Longitudinal measurement invariance was examined on a subsample of 478 English-speaking participants and was fully confirmed across five consecutive assessment points. Factor means were compared between groups and across time, and good convergent validity of the Subjective Happiness Scale was found in relation to a measure of temporal satisfaction with life. Overall, our results demonstrate that self-reported happiness was measured similarly in nine different countries, gender and age groups and over time, and provide a solid foundation for meaningful cross-group and cross-time comparisons in subjective happiness. positive psychology Subjective Happiness Scale SHS happiness well-being measurement invariance longitudinal measurement invariance group comparison group diffrences Temporal Satisfaction with Life Scale TSWLS pozitivna psihologija lestvica subjektivne sreče SHS sreča blagostanje merska invariantnost vzdolžna merska invariantnost primerjava skupin razlike med skupinami true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2021-02-26 10:49:17 2021-02-26 10:49:20 2023-02-20 15:50:34 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 826–841 iss. 4 Vol. 29 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 159.923.072 1073-1911 10.1177/1073191121993558 51599875 512150041 1073191121993558_(1).pdf 1073191121993558_(1).pdf 1 2AD08DE9EE16DE26644AD3F8316F238B c7adc45846242e2e12c98c84883d170087243cde093a49be8920e5c9a8e7eb86 b9a8bde0-adfa-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=166653 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1073191121993558 1 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=140608 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
