Abstract

Background: Psychological flourishing has significant attention within positive psychology, emphasizing the need for reliable tools across diverse cultural contexts. Purpose: This study examines the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Flourishing Scale (FS) among Algerian and Moroccan populations. Methods: A total of 758 university students from Algeria and Morocco, representing various academic disciplines, participated. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to evaluate the scale's structure and measurement invariance. Results: The CFA demonstrated good fit indices (χ² = 114.578, CFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.08). Reliability estimates were satisfactory (Cronbach's α = 0.79). Measurement invariance confirmed the scale's cross-cultural reliability and validity, supporting its consistency across Algerian and Moroccan samples. Discussion: The Arabic version of the FS is a reliable, valid, and culturally adaptable tool for assessing psychological flourishing. It offers valuable insights for research and applications in positive psychology within Arab contexts, ensuring relevance for diverse groups.

阿拉伯繁荣量表的心理测量特性

背景：心理繁荣在积极心理学中备受关注，强调在不同文化背景下需要可靠的工具。目的：本研究考察了阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥人群中阿拉伯语版繁荣量表（FS）的心理测量特性。方法：对来自阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥的758名不同学科的大学生进行调查。采用验证性因子分析（CFA）对量表的结构和测量不变性进行评价。结果：CFA具有良好的拟合指数（χ²= 114.578,CFI = 0.93, RMSEA = 0.08）。信度估计令人满意（Cronbach's α = 0.79）。测量不变性证实了量表的跨文化可靠性和有效性，支持其在阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥样本中的一致性。讨论：阿拉伯语版本的FS是一个可靠的，有效的，和文化适应性的评估心理繁荣的工具。它为阿拉伯积极心理学的研究和应用提供了宝贵的见解，确保了不同群体的相关性。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
