Abstract
This paper examines the psychometric properties of the short (18-item) form of the Ryff Scales of Psychological Wellbeing, presented for online administration, among a sample of 370 young adults between the ages of 18 and 26 years who were born in Punjab and who had lived there since their birth, and tested the two hypotheses that the negatively-voiced items would detract from the unidimensionality of the scale and that, with the removal of the negatively-voiced items, the remaining 10 items would generate a unidimensional and reliable measure of psychological wellbeing embracing all six of the proposed components of wellbeing (self-acceptance, positive relations with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth). The data supported both hypotheses, and commended the resulting 10-item Psychological Wellbeing Scale for Muslim Societies (PWS-MS).
