The aim of the current work is to validate the Italian adaptation of the Stirling Child Well-being Scale, a questionnaire created by Liddle and Carter (2015) to assess the two psychological dimensions of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. The questionnaire was validated on a sample of 1130 participants (540 male and 590 females, aged 8 to 13 years). It showed good fit indexes (c2(87) = 317.01, p<.001, RMSEA = .048, SRMR = .045, CFI = .971, NNFI = .965), and a satisfactory reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = .762). The questionnaire revealed as a useful tool to assess well-being in several contexts (such as clinical, educational) other than traditional scales created to specifically evaluate the schoolrelated well-being. Indeed, it allows separate measurement of the two dimensions of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, constituting a benchmark for future research and comprehension of the composition of these two components, yet to be understood, especially in children.

Abstract
The aim of the current work is to validate the Italian adaptation of the Stirling Child Well-being Scale, a questionnaire created by Liddle and Carter (2015) to assess the two psychological dimensions of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being. The questionnaire was validated on a sample of 1130 participants (540 male and 590 females, aged 8 to 13 years). It showed good fit indexes (c2(87) = 317.01, p<.001, RMSEA = .048, SRMR = .045, CFI = .971, NNFI = .965), and a satisfactory reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = .762). The questionnaire revealed as a useful tool to assess well-being in several contexts (such as clinical, educational) other than traditional scales created to specifically evaluate the schoolrelated well-being. Indeed, it allows separate measurement of the two dimensions of hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, constituting a benchmark for future research and comprehension of the composition of these two components, yet to be understood, especially in children.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
