Secure Flourish Index: Evaluation of Psychometric Properties among Malaysian Adults
In a pioneering exploration of human flourishing among Malaysian adults, the Secure Flourish Index (SFI) emerges as a powerful tool, revealing the key determinants that influence wellbeing while providing crucial guidance for developing targeted policies and interventions to foster a thriving society.Initially tested in the United States, the SFI's psychometric properties have yet to be evaluated in the Malaysian context.This study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the SFI among Malaysian adults.Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of 201 Malaysian adults using the Secure Flourish Index.The data was analysed using SmartPLS 4.0 to assess the psychometric properties of SFI.The findings demonstrate that the SFI exhibits strong psychometric properties, as evidenced by its discriminant validity, convergent validity, and composite reliability.These results empower researchers in Malaysia to confidently utilize the SFI to measure human flourishing among adults.This will then enable the development and implementation of comprehensive community programs designed to enhance the flourishing of grown-ups in the community.
