| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ; Peterson
et al. in J Happiness Stud 6(1):25–41, 2005) in Taiwanese students. The participants were 578 undergraduate students (Mage = 18.64, SD = 1.02) and completed the OHQ, satisfaction with life scale (Diener et al. in J Personality Assess 49:71–75,
1985), and subjective happiness. Confirmation factor analysis indicated that a three-factor model with 17 items was the better
fit model. Cross-validation also supported the modified Chinese version of the OHQ. Besides, the OHQ significantly predicted
life satisfaction and subjective happiness with an exception of life of pleasure. Overall, it was concluded that the Chinese
version of the OHQ would be useful for assessing individual’s orientations to happiness. |
