Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess the psychometric properties of the Flourishing Scale (FS) by employing samples of Malaysian and Indonesian undergraduates. In addition, the present study seeks to identify aspects of the social-psychological functioning that were perceived differently by both samples.

Design/methodology/approach

The present study employs the descriptive design to provide descriptions about psychometric properties of the FS. In total, 351 first-year undergraduates were employed as samples of the study. The authors employed the Rasch measurement model framework using the quantitative approach to analyze the data.

Findings

Generally, the results showed that the FS demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties for both samples. However, the Malaysian and Indonesian samples differ significantly in half of the social-psychological functioning aspects.

Research limitations/implications

One limitation of the study was the relatively small sample size students in one higher education institution in each country. In addition, in both countries, the undergraduates demonstrated obligatory roles toward their lecturers. Therefore, their response might not be truthful and only respond as requested.

Originality/value

Whilst social psychological functioning has been identified as important aspects of well-being, the construct has yet to be studied in the eastern culture in Malaysia and Indonesia.

评估马来西亚和印度尼西亚本科生之间的社会心理功能：Rasch 模型分析

目的

本研究的目的是通过使用马来西亚和印度尼西亚本科生的样本来评估蓬勃发展量表 (FS) 的心理测量特性。此外，本研究旨在确定两个样本对社会心理功能的不同看法。

设计/方法/方法

本研究采用描述性设计来描述 FS 的心理测量特性。总共有 351 名一年级本科生被用作研究样本。作者采用 Rasch 测量模型框架，使用定量方法来分析数据。

发现

一般来说，结果表明，FS 对两个样本都表现出可接受的心理测量特性。然而，马来西亚和印度尼西亚的样本在一半的社会心理功能方面存在显着差异。

研究限制/影响

该研究的一个局限性是每个国家的一所高等教育机构的学生样本量相对较小。此外，在这两个国家，本科生都表现出对讲师的义务作用。因此，他们的回复可能不真实，只会按要求回复。

原创性/价值

虽然社会心理功能已被确定为幸福的重要方面，但该结构尚未在马来西亚和印度尼西亚的东方文化中进行研究。
