| Abstract: | We critically review studies of subjective wellbeing conducted in China by the International Wellbeing Group, and we evaluate
the International Wellbeing Index (IWI), a new instrument they developed. Subjective wellbeing was positive and similar in
studies across China, and conformed to the normative range. Its resilience (PWI = 61.2–67.1) mirrors survey findings conducted
in Western countries, in agreement with Subjective Wellbeing Homeostasis. Reliability, validity and psychometric analyses
support the utility of the IWI as a measure of subjective wellbeing. Our conclusions have implications for research and social
development in China, discussed further in this review. |
