The present study describes the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the Mental Health Inventory-5 for use with young adolescents. A sample of 367 Portuguese students (aged 10-15 years) completed the Portuguese-language versions of Mental Health Inventory-5 (MHI-5; Berwick et al., 1991), Children's Hope Scale (CHS; Snyder et al., 1997), Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (SLSS; Huebner, 1991a), and Global Self-Worth Sub-scale (Harter, 1985). Analysis of readability, reliability (internal consistency and 1-year stability), factor structure, and criterion-related validity suggested that the MHI-5 can be appropriately used in this age group. Implications of the findings are discussed.

Life Satisfaction Scale

The Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS) is a self-report measure developed to assess life satisfaction among students in five specific domains: family, friends, school, self, and daily life. The purpose of the current study was to develop an Arabic version of this measure and to investigate its psychometric properties with Syrian secondary students as well as university students. With a sample of (N=1604), several methods were used to estimate the reliability and validity of the measure. The results showed satisfactory test-retest reliability and internal consistency coefficients. Also, the results provided evidence for the convergent and divergent validity. Further evidence for the construct validity of the instrument was provided by studying the inter-correlations of its five subscales as well as the correlations of these subscales with the subscales of the entire instrument. At the same time, validity was supported by the correlations of the five subscales with achievement. In sum, the findings of this study show that the psychometric properties obtained from administering the instrument to a sample of secondary school and university students meets acceptable levels. Recommendations were made to conduct further psychometric studies upon the Arabic version of BMSLSS and to administer this version in cross- cultural studies.

We validated the psychometric properties of the Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale for Turkish culture. A standard back-translation procedure was performed. A stratified sample ( N = 493; age range = 18–70 years) was selected from North Cyprus. Results showed that one-factor model for the Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale was a good fit. Composite reliability was .77 and factor loadings were significant (.515–.825). Significant correlations were found between the scale and the Satisfaction With Life Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale–Short Form, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism subscales of the Big Five Inventory. The Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale is an up-to-date, standard, and powerful alternative scale that is statistically strong, easy-to-apply, and its reversed items were free from measurement bias. It is thus valid and reliable to use in Turkish culture, indicating the cross-cultural value of the current study.
