Bangladeshi Adaptation of Warwick-E Mental Well-Being Scale burgh Syed Tanveer Rahman’ and Mostak Ahamed Imrarr There is a growing interest in the assessment of positive mental health as a global indicator of societal wealth. Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWEBS) has been proved to be a valid, reliable, brief and easy-to-use measure of positive mental health round the globe. Appreciating its widespread and efficient application, we have adapted the scale for use in Bangladesh following standard guidelines provided by the original WEMWBS developer and also followed standard guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation of Beaton et al (2000). Data were collected from 120 university students using a cross- sectional survey design. Reliability coefficients for the present study were beyond the cut-off for acceptance level (Cronbach's alpha, 0.77, split-half, 0.87), and test-retest 0.72). Convergent validity as assessed by correlation between the scale and GHQ-12 was found promising (r = - 0.53). It is evident that the adapted Bangla version of WEMWBS. appears psychometrically sound and thus can be used by the professionals concerned with confidence. * Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Dhaka NLS.
