A novel image-based method (AgileBrain) demonstrates construct validity as a measure of wellbeing in the general working adult population.
Analysis of data from four large nationally representative samples of American full-time workers employed by mid-to-large size companies conducted in November 2021 ( = 812), May 2022 ( = 810), June 2023 ( = 986), and January 2024 ( = 1,179).
Across all four studies, AgileBrain demonstrates convergent validity across multiple established indicators of subjective wellbeing including the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Neuroticism (BFI-S), UCLA Loneliness Scale, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Coping Styles (Brief COPE-28), self-reported diagnosed neurodiversity conditions and symptoms, and trauma history.
Results across these studies suggest that AgileBrain is useful as a screening tool for detecting compromised wellbeing in terms of construct validity. Given strong preferences for brief, gamified assessments, the validity advantages stemming from less consciously controllable responses, and the statistical advantages of measures associated with high response rates and normal distributions, AgileBrain emerges as strong tool for assessing subjective wellbeing at the population level and offers a promising approach to monitoring treatment effectiveness.
一种新的基于图像的方法(AgileBrain)在一般成年工作人群中作为幸福感的衡量标准,表现出了结构有效性。
对 2021 年 11 月( = 812)、2022 年 5 月( = 810)、2023 年 6 月( = 986)和 2024 年 1 月( = 1179)四个美国大型中型公司的全职员工的四个大型全国代表性样本的数据进行分析。
在所有四项研究中,AgileBrain 在多个已确立的主观幸福感指标上表现出了收敛效度,包括患者健康问卷(PHQ-9)、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表(CESD-10)、广泛性焦虑障碍量表(GAD-7)、神经质(BFI-S)、加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表、感知压力量表(PSS-10)、应对方式(Brief COPE-28)、自我报告的诊断神经多样性状况和症状以及创伤史。
这些研究的结果表明,AgileBrain 在结构有效性方面作为一种筛查工具来检测幸福感受损是有用的。鉴于对简短、游戏化评估的强烈偏好,较少受意识控制的反应所带来的有效性优势,以及与高响应率和正态分布相关的测量的统计优势,AgileBrain 成为评估人群水平主观幸福感的有力工具,并为监测治疗效果提供了一种有前途的方法。
