Is the psychological well-being questionnaire proposed by Ryff an adequate instrument to measure psychological well-being? I have read that some of the subscales have little reliability and do not work very well; however, it is one of the most used instruments and this is an advantage to compare results with other studies. Is there any other questionnaire that you recommend, better than this one?
It is clear that the use of this scale implies several questions, in my case I used 9 items of the original scale (alfa =. 74).
Below is the reference of the manuscript:
Ballesteros-Leiva, F., Poilpot-Rocaboy, G., & St-Onge, S. (2017). The relationship between life-domain interactions and the well-being of internationally mobile employees. Personnel Review, 46(2), 237–254. https://doi.org/10.1108/PR-05-2015-0142
Felix Ballesteros Leiva is correct that you can look for short forms of the Ryff questionnaire. The original is quite long, so unless you need some of the sub scales, you might look at something like Diener's Satisfaction with Life Scale.
Hi Maria. The Mental Health Continuum Short Form of Corey Keyes is a brief measure (14 items) of well-being that measures emotional ,psychological and social aspects of well-being. A total score across the 14 items is recommended. It yields scores with high reliabilities and evidence supports the replicability of the factor structure across cultures.

Hi, do you know a valid short-form scale for measuring " well being " . I want to measure wellbeing in adults with chronic disease. I really appreciate your great help.
