- This paper presents results of a second round of the studies in which a subjective well-being scale for Chinese citizens (SWBS-cc) has been developed in two consecutive steps. First, the scale composed of 54 items was applied to a sample of adult persons living in Shandong province, and a local norm was achieved. Next, a sample from a wider area in mainland of China was taken, and the psychometrics of SWBS-cc was examined. Based on that research,, the scale was revised and improved through factor analysis and logical analysis. The revised SWBS-cc included 40 items, and shown good psychometric properties. The standard norm sample was expanded to six metropolitan areas (capital cities) from the whole country, and the nationwide norm was achieved. (original abstract)
