Assessing multidimensional well-being in individuals with disabilities: Psychometric validation of the positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA) Profiler.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE: in a sample of individuals with disabilities. RESEARCH METHOD/DESIGN: . Reliability, convergent validity, and correlations with related constructs were examined to assess psychometric properties. RESULTS: with acceptable model fit (comparative fit index = .967, Tucker-Lewis index = .956, standardized root-mean-square residual = .035, root-mean-square error of approximation = .069). All factor loadings were significant and ranged from .40 to .90, supporting convergent validity. Internal consistency was acceptable across subscales (α = .68-.90; ω = .72-.91), and average variance extracted values ranged from .47 to .77. PERMA domains correlated as expected with measures of life satisfaction, perceived stress, and functional disability, supporting construct validity within the nomological network. CONCLUSION/IMPLICATIONS: as a multidimensional well-being measure with practical applications in research and clinical care. The tool can guide targeted interventions across PERMA domains to enhance holistic well-being. Further research should examine its use in diverse populations and its potential to predict health and functioning outcomes in rehabilitation settings.
