Abstract
This research applied exploratory structural equation modeling to investigate the much-debated dimensionality of Ryff's (1989) Scales of Psychological Well-being. Using responses from 287 undergraduates we compared a series of models and found support for a bifactor structure (i.e. 6 scale factors and a global factor) as the best fitting model.
