Abstract
The Riverside Eudaimonia Scale (RES) has been recently developed to measure psychological measures of eudaimonia. Currently, there is no evidence regarding its psychometric properties in Turkish. Therefore, this study, for the first time, examined the validation and psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the RES. Participants included 336 undergraduate students from a public university in Turkey. The results showed good internal consistency of the RES suggesting a good measure to assess eudaimonic flourishing. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses yielded a one-factor structure as a good fit with strong reliability evidence. The results indicated that the RES was correlated with life satisfaction and flourishing, and the RES explained a significant amount of variance in the prediction of life satisfaction and flourishing after controlling for age and gender. The results suggest that the RES has sound psychometric properties, is culturally and linguistically acceptable, and is equally fruitful in measuring eudaimonic flourishing in Turkish population.
