Abstract

Until recently, researchers have been combining the Ryft’s Psychological Wellbeing Scale (PWBS) and Ellison and Paloutzian’s Spiritual Wellbeing Scale (SWBS) in an attempt to measure what can be considered psycho-spiritual wellbeing. This attempt makes psycho-spiritual wellbeing appear fragmented. This necessitated the development of the Psycho-Spiritual Wellbeing Scale (P-SWBS) which measures psycho-spiritual wellbeing on the five domains: Self-Awareness, Connectedness, Meaningfulness, Compassion, and Self-Transcendence. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the psychometric properties of the P-SWBS. P-SWBS is found to be highly reliable (25 items; Spearman Brown Coefficient = .876; Guttman Split-Half coefficient = .850; at Cronbach’s Alpha = .916). The P-SWBS is valid on face, content, and criterion levels. Also, validity was based on the significant value obtained by the Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000
