This study aims to identify the conceptualisation of overall well-being used for well-being assessment through a review of the characteristics and key components and/or dimensions of well-being scales as presented in current literature. Scopus and Web of Science were searched, and thematic analysis was conducted inductively to analyse the identified components within scales, as well as the types of well-being these scales measure. 107 peer-reviewed articles from 2003 to 2022 were included, and 69 well-being scales were identified covering nine areas of well-being. Four final themes were identified as the foundational dimensions of overall well-being: hedonic; eudaimonic; physical health; and generic happiness. Notably, these 69 scales are mainly validated and adopted in the Western context. '4 + N' frameworks of overall well-being are recommended for assessing overall well-being. This review provides researchers with a synthesis of what types of well-being have been measured and which measures have been used to assess these types of well-being for which research participants. Non-Western-based well-being research is called for that incorporates a broader range of research participants and cultural contexts in contributing to a more inclusive understanding of well-being.
本研究旨在通过回顾当前文献中呈现的幸福感量表的特征和关键组成部分和/或维度，来确定用于幸福感评估的整体幸福感概念化。我们检索了 Scopus 和 Web of Science，并进行了归纳主题分析，以分析量表内确定的组成部分，以及这些量表衡量的幸福感类型。纳入了 2003 年至 2022 年的 107 篇同行评议文章，确定了 69 种幸福感量表，涵盖了幸福感的九个领域。确定了四个最终主题作为整体幸福感的基础维度：享乐；幸福论；身体健康；和通用幸福感。值得注意的是，这些 69 个量表主要在西方背景下得到验证和采用。建议使用“4+N”整体幸福感框架来评估整体幸福感。本综述为研究人员提供了一个综合信息，即已经测量了哪些类型的幸福感，以及已经使用了哪些措施来评估这些类型的幸福感，针对哪些研究参与者。需要进行非西方幸福感研究，以更广泛的研究参与者和文化背景为基础，为更全面地理解幸福感做出贡献。
