Validation and Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Riverside Eudaimonia Scale.

This article focuses on the validation and psychometric evaluation of the Turkish version of the Riverside Eudaimonia Scale (RES), a tool designed to measure eudaimonic well-being, which emphasizes meaning, purpose, and personal growth. The study involved 336 Turkish undergraduate students and found that the RES demonstrated strong internal consistency, a one-factor structure, and significant positive correlations with life satisfaction and flourishing. Regression analyses indicated that the RES significantly predicted life satisfaction and flourishing beyond age and gender effects. These findings suggest that the Turkish RES is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing eudaimonic flourishing within the Turkish cultural context, supporting its use in research and interventions aimed at enhancing well-being.
