The current study aims to validate the PERMA-Profiler, a well-known well-being measure, among a sample of student veterans. A sample of 205 student veterans were recruited from universities across the United States. Cross-sectional research design was used in this study. Measurement structure of the PERMA-Profiler was evaluated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Convergent, divergent, and criterion-related validity was tested using Pearson correlation coefficients and Kruskal-Wallis test. The EFA results yielded a two-factor solution for student veterans. Factors are named as emotional character strengths and performance character strengths. The PERMA-Profiler is a multidimensional scale with good reliability and acceptable levels of convergent, divergent, and criterion-related validity. The PERMA-Profiler can help researchers and practitioners better gauge well-being in student veterans. Implications will be discussed.
本研究旨在在美国各地大学招募的205名学生退伍军人样本中验证一种著名的幸福感测量工具——PERMA-Profiler。本研究采用横断面研究设计。使用探索性因素分析（EFA）评估PERMA-Profiler的测量结构。使用Pearson相关系数和Kruskal-Wallis检验来测试聚合效度、区分效度和标准关联效度。EFA结果得出了学生退伍军人的两因素解决方案。因素被命名为情感性格优势和表现性格优势。PERMA-Profiler是一个多维量表，具有良好的信度以及可接受水平的聚合效度、区分效度和标准关联效度。PERMA-Profiler可以帮助研究人员和从业者更好地衡量学生退伍军人的幸福感。将对相关影响进行讨论。
