牛津幸福问卷（Oxford Happiness Questionnaire，OHQ）是由牛津幸福量表（Oxford Happiness Inventory，OHI）发展而来。OHI包括29个项目，每个项目涉及四个选项中的一个，每个选项都不同。OHQ包括与OHI类似的项目，每个项目都作为一个单一的声明提出，可以在统一的六点李克特量表上得到认可。修订后的文书结构紧凑，易于管理，并允许在更大范围内获得认可。当测试对OHI，OHQ的有效性是令人满意的，规模和电池的个性变量之间的关联已知与幸福，更强的OHQ比OHI。虽然OHI和OHQ的平行因素分析产生了几乎相同的统计结果，但OHQ的解决方案无法解释。先前报道的OHI的可分解性可能更多地归因于项目的格式和呈现方式，而不是项目本身的性质。OHQ的顺序正交因子分析确定了一个单一的高阶因子，这表明它所测量的幸福感是一维的。判别分析已被用来产生一个简短的形式版本的OHQ有八个项目。(C)2002年由Elsevier Science Ltd.出版
An improved instrument, the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), has been derived from the Oxford Happiness Inventory, (OHI). The OHI comprises 29 items, each involving the selection of one of four options that are different for each item. The OHQ includes similar items to those of the OHI, each presented as a single statement which can be endorsed on a uniform six-point Likert scale. The revised instrument is compact, easy to administer and allows endorsements over an extended range. When tested against the OHI, the validity of the OHQ was satisfactory and the associations between the scales and a battery of personality variables known to be associated with well-being, were stronger for the OHQ than for the OHI. Although parallel factor analyses of OHI and the OHQ produced virtually identical statistical results, the solution for the OHQ could not be interpreted. The previously reported factorisability of the OHI may owe more to the way the items are formatted and presented, than to the nature of the items themselves. Sequential orthogonal factor analyses of the OHQ identified a single higher order factor, which suggests that the construct of well-being it measures is uni-dimensional. Discriminant analysis has been employed to produce a short-form version of the OHQ with eight items. (C) 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
