Abstract
Abstract. Psychological Well-being Index-School Children (PWI-SC) and Psychological Well-being Index-Adult (PWI-A) have been validated and used in many countries. However, no adapted and validated PWI-SC and PWI-A in Indonesian contexts were found. The aims of this study are twofold. First, to translate the PWI-SC and PWI-A and adapt them for use in Indonesian contexts. Second, to test the validity and reliability of these PWI-SC and PWI-A. The study participants were middle school students (N = 968- 56.8% girls- 43.2% boys- M age = 13.76) and adults (N = 534- 42.1% males- 57.9% females- M age = 43.63). Samples were children and their parents. Samples were randomly chosen from 16 middle schools in Bandung and their parents. Product moments have been used to validate PWI-SC and PWI-A. Results showed that the Indonesian version of PWI-SC and PWI-A have been translated and adapted excellently. The reliability of PWI-SC was .905, and the reliability of PWI-A was .936. PWI-SC can be used for children and adolescent school age, and PWI-A can be used for adults. PWI-SC and PWI-A can be used for research and practice in Indonesia.
Keywords: Adults, Adolescents, Children, Indonesia, PWI-A, PWI-SC.
