Abstract

This study is the first to investigate the factor structure of the Mental Health ContinuumShort Form MHCSF in New Zealand Towards this end traditional Confirmatory Factor Analysis CFA and the new method of Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling ESEM were used Both ESEM and CFA supported the tripartite model of mental wellbeing in comparison to the one and twofactor models however ESEM provided better fit with the data Moreover interfactor correlations were considerably lower in ESEM than they were in CFA indicating greater factor distinctiveness in ESEM ESEM also revealed a number of important crossloadings for items in the measurement model of the MHCSF The results supported full metric and full scalar invariance of the MHCSF across gender The attenuated correlations among wellbeing factors obtained by ESEM here provide an important insight about the ongoing controversy regarding the failure of empirical research to identify distinct eudaimonic and hedonic factors in wellbeing measures An overreliance on CFA methods may have led the field to rely on inflated estimates of shared variance between eudaimonia and hedonia
