Veterans are an increasing population in postsecondary education. Many student veterans have disabilities affecting their well-being and success in college. This study aims to add to current knowledge on well-being by exploring the relationship between flourishing, personality traits, and service-connected disability among student veterans. First, we set out to psychometrically validate the Flourishing Scale (FS) for student veterans. Second, we evaluated the association of the Big-Five personality traits and flourishing. Finally, we evaluated the differences in flourishing among student veterans with and without service-connected disabilities. Two hundred five student veterans were recruited for the current study. A random split-half approach was adopted to perform an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Subsequent to conducting the EFA and CFA, a hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationships between flourishing and Big-Five personality traits. Finally, an independent-samples t test was conducted to compare the flourishing scores of student veterans with and without a service-connected disability. Findings indicated FS is a reliable and valid scale that could be used to measure flourishing in student veterans. Detailed findings and their implications for rehabilitation counseling are provided.

有和没有与服务相关的残疾的退伍军人的蓬勃发展：蓬勃发展量表的心理测量验证及其与人格和残疾关系的探索

接受高等教育的退伍军人人数不断增加。许多退伍军人有残疾，影响了他们在大学里的幸福和成功。本研究旨在通过探索退伍军人的繁荣、个性特征和与服务相关的残疾之间的关系来增加当前对福祉的了解。首先，我们着手从心理测量学上验证退伍军人的蓬勃发展量表 (FS)。其次，我们评估了大五人格特质与繁荣的关联。最后，我们评估了有和没有与服务相关的残疾的退伍军人在蓬勃发展方面的差异。目前的研究招募了 205 名退伍军人。采用随机分半法进行探索性因素分析（EFA）和验证性因素分析（CFA）。在进行 EFA 和 CFA 之后，进行了分层多元回归分析，以研究蓬勃发展和大五人格特质之间的关系。最后，进行了独立样本 t 检验，以比较有和没有与服务相关的残疾的退伍军人学生的高分。结果表明 FS 是一个可靠且有效的量表，可用于衡量退伍军人的蓬勃发展。提供了详细的发现及其对康复咨询的影响。进行了独立样本 t 检验，以比较有和没有与服务相关的残疾的退伍军人学生的高分。结果表明 FS 是一个可靠且有效的量表，可用于衡量退伍军人的蓬勃发展。提供了详细的调查结果及其对康复咨询的影响。进行了独立样本 t 检验，以比较有和没有与服务相关的残疾的退伍军人学生的高分。结果表明 FS 是一个可靠且有效的量表，可用于衡量退伍军人的蓬勃发展。提供了详细的发现及其对康复咨询的影响。
