MEASURES OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY - KAMLESH SINGH...

The book contributes to the vast field of research in psychometrics as well as to the growing
field of positive psychology. It analyses the development and validation of several constructs
of positive psychology like resilience  flow  mindfulness  spirituality  and intrapersonal and
interpersonal strengths. The chapters discuss the test construction process and develop scales
for constructs that are validated on the Indian population. In most Indian behavioral research
psychological tests from the West are employed without assessing psychometric properties in
India. However  establishing validation of psychological tests in a new culture is necessary in
order to claim results based on these tests. Hence  this book bridges this gap in positive
psychology and its allied fields and develops and standardizes these scales for the Indian
population. The new constructed and validated scales have undergone rigorous statistical
screening. Psychologists  psychiatrists  and social workers interested in studying well-being
in India and in understanding how to create psychometric scales for non-Western populations
will find the book useful for their research.
