Steinhardt, 1997) is a recently developed instrument intended to operationalize the comprehensive Model (T. 1997), an innovative model that attempts include balance of multiple life activities in its evaluation well-being. Two university samples (N = 317) were used (a) examine psychometric properties PWS, (b) determine how well PWS represents Model, and (c) ascertain relates psychological functioning. Results suggest may have potential as psychometrically sound does relate hypothesized ways standardized measures mental health. Specifically, revised 33-item accounted for 29.3% variance Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (A. Beck, R. A. Steer, G. K. Brown, 1996) scores, 11.4% Anxiety Inventory 1993) 18.2% scores on Hopkins Symptom Checklist-21 (D. E. Green, F. H. Walkey, I. McCormick, W. Taylor, 1988) when controlling impression management. Despite this support overall authors' examination found no evidence existence separate subscale dimensions, suggested by theory upon which was designed. Implications these findings are presented.
