The tripartite model of mental well-being offers a comprehensive account of the nature of mental well-being. According to this model, mental well-being is composed of three distinct yet related dimensions of subjective (hedonic), psychological and social well-being.
The present study investigated the structural and discriminant validity of the three well-being factors.
A large American sample (N = 2732) was used. Data were analyzed using both Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM).
It was found that the well-being variables loaded on three separate factors, indicating that the tripartite model was consistent with the data. Discriminant validity was further evidenced by moderate correlations between the latent factors, and differential relationships with the Big Five personality traits. ESEM proved to be a more appropriate approach for analyzing the data given the presence of cross-loadings.
These results support adequate structural and discriminant validity for the dimensions of the tripartite model.
心理幸福感的三分模型提供了对心理幸福感本质的全面描述。根据这一模型，心理幸福感由主观（享乐）、心理和社会幸福感三个不同但相关的维度组成。
本研究旨在调查三个幸福感因素的结构和判别效度。
采用美国大样本（N=2732）。使用验证性因子分析（CFA）和探索性结构方程建模（ESEM）对数据进行了分析。
结果发现，幸福感变量在三个独立的因素上有负荷，表明三分模型与数据一致。潜在因素之间的中度相关以及与大五人格特质的不同关系进一步证明了判别效度。鉴于存在交叉负荷，ESEM 被证明是分析数据的更合适方法。
这些结果支持三分模型维度的充分结构和判别效度。
