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.

The present study aims to investigate the impact of gender and religion on mental health and life Satisfaction among management students. The sample was consisted of 100 management students selected by stratified random sampling from different institutions located in Ranchi town. The stratification was based on two groups of gender (Boys & girls) and religion (Hindu and Muslim). In total, there were four sample sub - groups based on 2 x 2 factorial design and for each sample sub- group, 25 cases were selected randomly. General Health Questionnaire (GHQ)-12 by Shamsunder et al. (1986) and Goutam et al. (1987) was applied to measure the level of mental health and Life Satisfaction Scale by Alam (2001) was used to find out the level of life satisfaction among the student sample. ANOVA and Correlation were used to analyze the data by SPSS. The results revealed that there was no significant effect of gender and religion on mental health and life satisfaction of the students. And co-relation between mental health and life satisfaction was found significant.

Abstract The aim was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Gain in Alzheimer Care Instrument (GAIN), providing validity evidence based on its internal structure, reliability, item analysis, and relationships with other variables. A sample of 113 informal caregivers of people with dementia completed the GAIN, along with questionnaires assessing burden, general mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a single-factor structure with adequate fit indices. Reliability of GAIN scores was satisfactory, with McDonald’s omega equal to .91. Items yielded adequate homogeneity indices. Validity evidence based on relationships with other variables was provided by positive correlations between GAIN scores and life satisfaction, and negative correlations with burden, general mental health problems, stress, anxiety, and depression. All these correlations were statistically significant, and most of them were of moderate magnitude. The Spanish version of the GAIN has a single-factor structure and satisfactory psychometric properties. It is quick and easy to apply and given the association between GAIN scores and other variables, it may be used to provide information about a caregiver’s psychological health status.
