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).
