The Turkish adaptation of the scale developed by Kirk, Shutte, and Hine was conducted by Totan, İkiz, and Karaca. The scale consists of 32 items and is based on a 5-point Likert scale (1-Strongly disagree, 7-Strongly agree).

The scale was developed by Diener et al. to integrate and complement psychological well-being data and to measure social and psychological well-being. The Psychological Well-Being Scale was adapted into Turkish by Telef. The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient obtained in the reliability study of the scale was calculated as .80. The Psychological Well-Being Scale consists of 8 items.
