Flourishing is related to positive outcomes for physical and mental health, as well as overall wellbeing. The aim of the present study was to determine the validity and reliability of the Flourishing Scale (FS) among a sample of older participants in Iran.
In this validation study, 300 older people were selected by cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a checklist for demographic characteristics, the FS, and the Oxford happiness questionnaire. The validity (face, content, convergent, and construct) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha, test-retest) of the FS was evaluated in this cross-sectional study.
The exploratory factor analysis demonstrated a one-dimensional structure consisting of 8 items with an eigenvalue of 3.583. The model had a good fit [χ = 52.983, p < 0.001, χ/df = 2.944, GFI = 0.958, CFI = 0.915, IFI = 0.949, TLI = 0.919, AGFI = 0.948, and RMSEA = 0.081, SRMR = 0.086] with all factor loadings greater than 0.5 and statistically significant. A test of concurrent validity showed a direct and significant association between the FS and the Oxford happiness questionnaire ( = 0.647, < 0.001). The results of the reliability tests confirmed that the values of Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.819) and test-retest (0.821) were acceptable.
The Persian version of the FS demonstrated suitable validity and reliability among a sample of older participants.
繁荣与身心健康以及整体幸福感的积极结果有关。本研究的目的是确定伊朗老年参与者样本中繁荣量表（FS）的有效性和可靠性。
在这项验证研究中，通过聚类抽样方法选择了 300 名老年人。使用人口统计学特征清单、FS 和牛津幸福问卷收集数据。在这项横断面研究中评估了 FS 的有效性（表面、内容、收敛和结构）和可靠性（Cronbach's alpha、测试-再测试）。
探索性因素分析显示，一个由 8 个项目组成的一维结构，特征值为 3.583。该模型具有良好的拟合度[χ=52.983，p<0.001，χ/df=2.944，GFI=0.958，CFI=0.915，IFI=0.949，TLI=0.919，AGFI=0.948，和 RMSEA=0.081，SRMR=0.086]，所有因子负荷均大于 0.5，且具有统计学意义。同时效度检验表明，FS 与牛津幸福问卷之间存在直接且显著的关联（=0.647，<0.001）。可靠性测试的结果证实，Cronbach's alpha 系数（0.819）和测试-再测试（0.821）值是可以接受的。
在老年参与者样本中，FS 的波斯语版本表现出了适当的有效性和可靠性。
