In recent years, the role of flourishing in mental health has gained growing recognition, making the establishment of psychometrically and culturally validated instruments crucial for advancing theory and practice. The aim of this study is twofold: first, to adapt the Multidimensional Flourishing Scale for use in Turkey and investigate its psychometric properties; second, to explore the interrelationships between indicators of flourishing and psychological distress symptoms using network analysis. A total of 529 undergraduate students, comprising 316 females (59.7%) and 213 males (40.3%), with a mean age of 21.65 years (SD = 1.67), participated in the study. The Multidimensional Flourishing Scale, the Flourishing Scale, and the Kessler Distress Scale (K10) were utilized for data collection. Confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and the EBICglasso algorithm for network analyses were performed. The findings revealed that the Turkish version of the Multidimensional Flourishing Scale demonstrated a three-dimensional structure consistent with its original version, with satisfactory psychometric properties, including structural and convergent validity as well as reliability. Domain-level network analysis demonstrated that psychological well-being emerged as the most central node within the network, closely followed by psychological distress. Additionally, psychological distress was negatively associated with all domains of flourishing. At the item level, two symptoms of psychological distress, feeling depressed and feeling restless or fidgety, as well as three indicators of flourishing, feeling positive, feeling happy, and perceiving life as full of meaning, emerged as the most central nodes. These findings provide valuable insights into the central features of flourishing and psychological distress, which could potentially guide clinical practice. Further discussion and implications are elaborated upon in the study.
近年来，蓬勃发展在心理健康中的作用越来越受到认可，这使得建立经过心理测量和文化验证的工具对于推进理论和实践至关重要。本研究的目的有两个：第一，改编多维蓬勃发展量表以在土耳其使用并调查其心理测量特性；第二，使用网络分析探索蓬勃发展指标与心理困扰症状之间的相互关系。共有529名本科生参与了该研究，其中包括316名女性（59.7%）和213名男性（40.3%），平均年龄为21.65岁（标准差 = 1.67）。使用多维蓬勃发展量表、蓬勃发展量表和凯斯勒心理困扰量表（K10）进行数据收集。进行了验证性因素分析、皮尔逊相关分析以及用于网络分析的EBICglasso算法。研究结果表明，多维蓬勃发展量表的土耳其语版本呈现出与其原始版本一致的三维结构，具有令人满意的心理测量特性，包括结构效度、收敛效度以及信度。领域层面的网络分析表明，心理健康是网络中最核心的节点，紧随其后的是心理困扰。此外，心理困扰与蓬勃发展的所有领域均呈负相关。在项目层面，心理困扰的两个症状，即感到沮丧和感到不安或烦躁，以及蓬勃发展的三个指标，即感觉积极、感到快乐以及认为生活充满意义，成为最核心的节点。这些发现为蓬勃发展和心理困扰的核心特征提供了有价值的见解，可能会指导临床实践。研究中进一步阐述了相关讨论和意义。
