Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire(OHQ) for college students. The participants in this study were 412 college students in Seoul. Data was analyzed using exploratory factor analyses, confirmatory factor analyses, Pearson’s correlations, split-half reliability and item-total correlations. The results were as follows: 1) The construct validity of the Korean version of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire was supported by exploratory factor analyses and confirmatory factor analyses. There were 3 sub-factors of 16 items in the Korean version of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire: life of pleasure, life of meaning and life of engagement. 2) The criterion validity of the Korean version of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire was supported by correlation analysis with psychological well-being. 3) The reliability of the Korean version of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire indicated appropriate internal consistency, split-half reliability coefficient and item-total correlations. Theses results support both the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Orientations to Happiness Questionnaire.
