Data were obtained using a multi-method approach administered to a convenience sample of 560 undergraduate students. Findings revealed that four factors in particular underline the concept of contentment in Kuwait and in similar cultures. Findings suggested that these four sub-scales are a psychometrically sound measure of contentment that will be useful in the study of culture-based well-being among Arabic-speaking cultures. Findings are discussed in detail. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
