The Measurement of Adolescent Psychological Health: One or Two Dimensions?

Wilkinson, Ross B.; Walford, Wendy A.

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v27 n4 p443-55 Aug 1998

Measures of psychological health were administered to 345 late adolescents. A series of confirmatory factor analyses supported an oblique two-factor model of psychological health with measures of anxiety and negative affect defining a distress construct and measures of positive affect, satisfaction with life, and happiness defining a well-being construct.
