Six Dimensions of Psychological Well-Being | Autonomy | Environmental Mastery | Personal Growth | Purpose in Life | Positive Relations | Self- Acceptance | Thai Version of Psychological Well-Being |
1. Validation of the Measurement Model | |||||||
1.1. Convergent Validity | |||||||
1.1.1. Items in model with significant T-Statistic greater than 1.96. (Loading coefficients are not listed in this table) | Au2, Au4, Au6, Au10, Au11, Au14 | Em1, Em2, Em3, Em4, Em5, Em7, Em9, Em13, Em14 | Pg1, Pg4, Pg5, Pg6, Pg9, Pg10, Pg11, Pg13 | Pl2, Pl3, Pl5, Pl6, Pl7, Pl8, Pl9, Pl10 | Pr1, Pr2, Pr3, Pr4, Pr6, Pr8, Pr9, Pr10, Pr12 | Sa1, Sa2, Sa3, Sa5, Sa6, Sa7, Sa10 | These 47 indicators, of the original 54 indicators, significantly converged onto their respective dimensions. |
1.2. Discriminant Validity | |||||||
1.2.1. Items in final model with loading coefficients > 0.45 | Au2 (0.6321) Au4 (0.9731) Au10 (0.8512) Au11 (0.5992) | Em2 (0.9995) Em4 (0.5143) Em7 (0.6732) Em9 (0.4678) Em13 (0.9472) | Pg1 (0.7298) Pg4 (0.7775) Pg6 (0.7533) Pg10 (0.7884) Pg13 (0.9905) | Pl5 (0.8481) Pl8 (0.7582) Pl10 (0.9922) | Pr4 (0.7603) Pr12 (0. 9320) | Sa1 (0.5811) Sa2 (0.6386) Sa3 (0.6649) Sa10 (0.9540) | These 23 items, of the 47 items from above, demonstrated significant discriminant validity. |
1.2.2. Average loading coefficient per dimension | 0.76 | 0.72 | 0.81 | 0.87 | 0.85 | 0.71 | Average loadings of >0.7 supports discriminant validity of dimensions. |
1.2.3. Square Root of the Average Variance Extracted (AVE) | 0.777 | 0.753 | 0.813 | 0.872 | 0.850 | 0.724 | These coefficients were larger than the AVE coefficients of each comparative dimension, thus providing additional support of discriminant validity. |
1.3. Composite Reliability | 0.8543 | 0.8569 | 0.906 | 0.9035 | 0.8381 | 0.809 | The composite reliability of each dimension exceeded the recommended minimum value of 0.7, thus showing significant reliability of the items of each dimension. |
2. Validation of the Structural Model | |||||||
Au -> PWB | Em -> PWB | Pg -> PWB | Pl -> PWB | Pr -> PWB | Sa -> PWB | ||
2.1. Standardized Path Coefficients | 0.2514 | 0.2938 | 0.3074 | 0.2296 | 0.142 | 0.2131 | |
2.2. T-Statistics (significant if > 1.96) | 15.0343 | 17.4009 | 17.7737 | 13.6425 | 9.1512 | 12.8384 | All path coefficients were highly statistically significant, thus supporting the relationship between each hypothesized dimension and PWB (see Figure 1). |
