Authentic Durable Happiness Scale – Chinese Version

Description

The Self-Centeredness/Selflessness Happiness Model (SSHM), proposed by Michaël Dambrun and others, explores the nature of enduring happiness. It introduces two psychological structures related to the self: the “self-centered” psychological structure and the “selfless” psychological structure. These two structures generate two types of happiness through various psychological components, such as intentions, motivations, attention, cognition, emotions, and behaviors.

Administration Method and Scoring

The Subjective Fluctuating Happiness Scale (SFHS) and the Subjective Authentic-Durable Happiness Scale (SA-DHS) are used to assess happiness levels. The scales utilize a 7-point Likert scale where responses range from 1 (完全不同意) to 7 (完全同意) indicating the extent of agreement with various statements.

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity of the scales were examined in referenced studies, showing positive correlations between emotional stability and happiness.

Factors and Subscales

1. **Subjective Fluctuating Happiness Scale (SFHS)**: Measures the instability of happiness.
2. **Subjective Authentic-Durable Happiness Scale (SA-DHS)**: Measures the enduring and authentic aspects of happiness.

Keywords
