Abstract
We developed a German version of the Human Flourishing Scale (Flourish Index, FI and Secure Flourish Index, SFI) in a multi-stage translation and scale testing process to measure distinct domains of subjective well-being and overall flourishing. The FI consists of five sub-domains: happiness and life satisfaction, physical and mental health, meaning and purpose, character and virtue, and close social relationships. The SFI adds the sub-domain financial and material stability, which is thought necessary to sustain the other domains over time. The twelve-item SFI is a measure of flourishing that is short enough to be practical in a variety of settings, including in the workplace and in population surveys. It is comprehensive in its assessment of the most essential domains of “complete” well-being.
