Abstract
Investigation of the structure and properties of a psychological wellness profile with a relatively small sample of 216 participants provided some evidence for the validity of this instrument. Six wellness components were found to be significant predictors of psychological wellness, stress management being the most significant predictor, followed by fortitude, sense of coherence, satisfaction with life, mood and coping. Factor analysis revealed the structure of the Wellness Profile to consist of four principal components which may be labelled as psychological wellness, healthy lifestyle, stress management and age components respectively.
