This wellbeing scale was designed by the Stirling Council of Educational Psychology Service, in the United Kingdom, to assess wellbeing in students Ages 8 to 15. The scale presents 12 positive statements that students rank on a 5-point Likert scale based on the frequency that the statement applies in their life. It has been tested in over 18 schools, and an adapted version has been used in Bangladesh. It is positively worded and focuses on psychological and emotional wellbeing.
