ABSTRACT

The purpose of the study is to develop and validate a Happiness Scale for the Korean college students in indigenous psychological perspective. Based on the previously developed empirical evidence and FGI, 102 preliminary items are yield. The data of 565 students were used for conducting an exploring factor analysis. In result, the 23 items scale consist of six-factor of a Happiness subscale(4 items of majority satisfaction, orientation for appearance, sociability, family relationship, orientation for Achievement and 3 items of opposite-sex relationship). For the final scale, an confirmatory factor analysis were conducted from the data of 378 students. A result revealed that the six- factor structure of a Happiness Scale was appropriate to represent the happy structure of Korean college students. The internal consistency of each factor was reasonably high ranging from .86 to .68. Implications for counselling practice and future research were suggested.
