2.2.2. Mental Wellbeing

The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWS) is a 14-item measure covering both hedonic and eudaimonic facets of mental health. The positively worded items capture various concepts of wellbeing, including positive affect, psychological functioning, and interpersonal relationships. The scale uses a 5-point Likert scale (1–5) producing possible scores ranging from 14 to 70, with higher scores indicative of greater wellbeing. Stewart-Brown et al. [62] reported sound psychometric properties for the WEMWS in diverse populations; the reliability of the WEMWBS is noted to be "good" within a student sample, with an observed Cronbach's alpha of 0.89 [61].
