Abstract

Introduction. Given the war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the promotion of mental health and subjective well-being of the population has become an important task of psychological services in Ukraine. This requires the use of adequate diagnostic methods and instruments, in particular, those that have proven themselves in foreign practice. For this purpose, they should be adapted and standardized on the Ukrainian sample. Aim: to adapt The Modified BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB) and The Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale) on the Ukrainian sample. Methods. The Modified BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB) and the Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale). In order to adapt and standardize these scales, a study was conducted on a sample of 502 respondents from the central regions of Ukraine. The sample included 69.7% of women and 30.3% of men aged 18 through 75 belonging to various social strata. Results. 1) The adaptation of The Modified BBC Subjective Well-being Scale (BBC-SWB) and The Positive Mental Health Scale (PMH-scale) made it possible to bring them into line with Ukrainian realities; 2) the Scales' standardization allows using them for the analysis of the general indicator and individual subscales of subjective well-being as well as for the analysis of mental health of representatives of different population groups in Ukraine; 3) The obtained data demonstrated the Scales' high reliability and validity. Conclusions. The adapted Scales can be used by psychological centers and services for diagnosing mental health and well-being of Ukrainian population.
