Wellness on a general scale is a major global concern as it is perpendicular to achieving monumental success in a drive towards global health challenges. The health status and wellbeing of university students should be major concern as they constitute young adolescent population and are prone to risky lifestyle. The objective of this study is to carry out exploratory factor analysis of modified structured wellness questionnaire used by university students in pursuit of healthy living. The study explored the orientation, health perspective and practices of the university students to assess the factor loading of the modified structures questionnaire for extraction, reduction and compression into variables. A 20-item questionnaire was administered to 1030 students from four different colleges of Afe Babalola University. Analyses were performed using SPSS. Principal axis component was conducted on the data and Cronbach Alpha was used to test the internal consistency of the data. The results of factor analysis showed five factors and eliminate five items that loaded below the cut-off points. The factors were drug and alcohol pattern; health belief and finance; self-expression and social integration; exercise, sleep and food; strength of social circle.Keywords: Principal axis factoring; Wellness; Healthy living

The research sample consists of 200 students who were selected randomly from the research community. The researchers have formed a tool to measure the students' attitudes towards immigration which consists of 20 paragraphs and underwent psychometric properties of reliability and validity. the scale has been applied to the sample.  After the collection of data was statistically analyzed using statistical methods such as T test of one sample, Pearson correlation coefficient, Cornbrash's alpha formula and T test for two independent samples. The results showed positive attitudes towards immigration at the University of Baghdad's students, while the results showed no statistically significant trends in Sulaimaniya's University Students.

Abstract. The need for efficient personality inventories has led to the wide use of short instruments. The corresponding items often contain multiple, potentially conflicting descriptors within one item. In Study 1 ( N = 198 university students), the reliability and validity of the TIPI (Ten-Item Personality Inventory) was compared with the reliability and validity of a modified TIPI based on items that rephrased each two-descriptor item into two single-descriptor items. In Study 2 ( N = 268 university students), we administered the BFI-10 (Big Five Inventory short version) and a similarly modified version of the BFI-10 without two-descriptor items. In both studies, reliability and construct validity values occasionally improved for separated multi-descriptor items. The inventories with multi-descriptor items showed shortcomings in some factors of the TIPI and the BFI-10. However, the other scales worked comparably well in the original and modified inventories. The limitations of short personality inventories with multi-descriptor items are discussed.
