What does the FS measure?

A brief eight-item summary of a person's self-perceived success in important areas such as relationships, self-esteem, purpose and optimism. The items ask about meaning and purpose, supportive relationships, engagement in daily activities, contributing to others, competence, being a good person, optimism and being respected. It gives a single psychological well-being score, and a high score means the person has many psychological resources and strengths.

Scoring the FS

  1. Each item scores the number of the chosen option (1 to 7); all items are worded positively, with no reversed items.
  2. The total is the sum of the eight items, from 8 to 56; higher means more psychological resources and strengths.
  3. In this template a calculated field adds the items with SCORE() and gets its own Excel and SPSS column.

Interpreting FS scores

ScoreLevelSuggested action
8–56Higher score = more flourishingNo cut-off

The authors set no cut-offs or levels for the Flourishing Scale; analyse the score as continuous and compare it with your own sample or published norms.

FS validity and reliability

  • Diener et al. (2010) examined the Flourishing Scale and the SPANE with 689 college students at six locations and reported good psychometric properties and convergence with other well-being measures.
  • The original sample consisted of students only, and the authors have published no population norms or cut-offs.

Frequently asked questions about the FS

How many items does Diener's Flourishing Scale have?

Eight items on a 7-point scale; the total runs from 8 to 56 and there are no reversed items.

How is the Flourishing Scale score interpreted?

It has no official cut-off; a higher score means the person sees more psychological resources and strengths in themselves. In research, use the score as continuous.

How is it different from Diener's Satisfaction With Life Scale?

The SWLS measures a global judgement about one's life; the Flourishing Scale measures self-perceived success in important areas such as relationships, self-esteem, purpose and optimism.
