FAHW
Fragebogen zum allgemeinen habituellen Wohlbefinden
Short abstract
The FAHW is a comprehensive survey of habitual well-being with a total of 42 items and 6 scales. The short version comprises 12 items with 2 items per scale. ). The understanding of the analysed concept is based on a multidimensional health model (Wydra, 1996, 2020), which takes up the WHO definition of health (1948). Reliability: The internal consistency according to Cronbach was between alpha = .79-.93 (FAHW) and alpha = .86 (FAHW-12). The long version had a split-half reliability of rtt = .89. The retest reliability resulted in values of rtt = .85 (1-hour interval) and rtt = .82 (1-week interval). Validity: FAHW and FAHW-12 showed correlations with established tests for recording mental states. Further investigations confirmed age and gender effects.
