| description | This study evaluated the measurement invariance of the Mental Health Continuum-Short Form
(MHC-SF), a 14-item self-report questionnaire for measuring emotional, social, and
psychological well-being. The study draws on data of a representative panel (Longitudinal
Internet Studies for the Social Sciences of CentERdata). 1,932 Dutch adults filled out the
MHC-SF at four timepoints over 9 months. We used item response theory analyses with
two-parameter models to examine differential item functioning across demographics, health
indicators, and timepoints. The results indicated differences in the performance of one item
(social well-being) for educational level, one item (social well-being) for sex, and two items
(psychological well-being) for age. The MHC-SF is highly reliable over time, as there was no
differential item functioning across the four timepoints. Furthermore, the means and
reliabilities of the subscales were consistent over time. The MHC-SF is a reliable and valid
instrument to measure positive aspects of mental health. |
