The assessment of social well-being across diverse populations holds paramount importance in elucidating the variations in individuals&#39; experiences and facilitating interventions aimed at bolstering their well-being. Hence, the present study sought to assess the validity and reliability of the Social Well-being Scale devised by Corey Keyes within an Iranian sample.<br> <b>Methods</b>: The study adopted a descriptive-psychometric approach, with the statistical population comprising all females aged 20-50 in Hormozgan province, Iran in the year 2022. A sample size of 300 women was selected through stratified sampling. The study incorporated the employment of the Well-being Scale created by Corey Keyes (1998) and the Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire developed by Ryff et al. (2010).<br> <b>Results</b>: The outcomes of the confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated a satisfactory model fit, aligning with the five-factor model as per the original theoretical framework. Moreover, further validation was established through statistically significant correlations identified between dimensions of social well-being and scores on psychological well-being. The reliability analysis also indicated strong internal consistency across all dimensions of well-being.<br> <b>Conclusions</b>: The adoption of this reliable and validated scale proves to be instrumental in evaluating social well-being during adulthood within the Iranian context. It not only enables a more comprehensive exploration of mental health research but also facilitates opportunities for assessment and intervention grounded in a positive paradigm.</span></span></span></span></div> Social Well-being scale, Validity, Reliability, Iranian women 138 149 http://ijer.hormozgan.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-31-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Mostafa Zahirinia Zahirinia@hormozgan.ac.ir 0000-0002-9922-2214 Yes Associate Professor, Department of Social Sciences, University of Hormozgan, Bandar Abbas, Iran Hassan Khezri 0000-0001-5838-6100 No Assistant professor, Department of Psychology, Islamic Azad University, Firoozabad Branch, Firoozabad, Iran
