摘要
This paper reports the validation of the Greek Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) in a mature student community-based sample (n = 734). The WEMWBS was administered as part of a battery of questionnaires, and the survey data were analyzed employing rigorous advanced multivariate methods to determine its reliability and validity. The findings revealed excellent internal consistency, a unidimensional structure substantiated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and adequate convergent validity, confirming its validity as a cohesive metric for assessing mental well-being. The validated WEMWBS has the potential to be an instrument, for researchers, healthcare professionals, and other individuals involved in assessing the current condition of mental well-being in Greek-speaking populations.
