About the MHC-SF
The Mental Health Continuum-Short Form (MHC-SF) is aimed at measuring the three dimensions of mental health; emotional, social, and psychological well-being. Comprising of 14 items, each theoretical dimension of emotional (3 items), social (5 items), and psychological (6 items) well-being is operationalised using a single item.
How the MHC-SF measures well-being
Participants respond on a 6-point Likert scale, ranging from 0 (Never) to 5 (Everyday). Scores can be computed either continuously or categorically.
Continuous scoring would see the score of each sub-scale summed (i.e., Emotional Well-Being, Social Well-Being, and Psychological Well-Being), and the sum of all scores yields the overall score for well-being. In this scenario, higher scores would indicate more positive mental health, and vice versa.
