Validation and standardization of the "questionnaire for assessing subjective physical well-being" by Kolip and Schmidt in a representative German sample

The '' Questionnaire for Assessing Subjective Physical WellBeing '' by Kolip and Schmidt [1] is examined using data drawn from a nationally representative survey of 573 former East and 1900 former West Germans. In this non-clinical sample the construct '' subjective physical well-being '' assessed by the,Questionnaire for Assessing Subjective Physical Well-Being '' seems to have just one dimension. As women and probands with growing age score lower for '' subjective physical well-being '' a differentiated standardization was done for gender and age. Connections between,subjective physical well-being '' and body-image assessed by the '' Body Image Questionnaire '' (FKB-20 [10]), quality of life ('' EURO-HIS-QOL '' [11,12]), and questions for concerns about financial situation, family and health give hints for validity of the questionnaire.
