Stirling Children’s Wellbeing Scale

Welcome to the Stirling Children’s Wellbeing Scale

The Stirling Children’s Wellbeing Scale (commonly referred to as the Stirling Scale) measures emotional and psychological wellbeing in children and young people aged 8 to 15 years. The areas of wellbeing covered by the scale include optimism, cheerfulness and relaxation; satisfying interpersonal relationships; positive functioning including clear thinking and competence

It includes 12 self-report items answered on a 5-point scale and aims to assess wellbeing with a positive focus, rather than focusing on mental illness, in the areas of positive emotional state and positive outlook.

There are an additional three items to determine if the participant’s answers are biased or if they have a socially desirable response set.

To note, this is freely available to access online – Members get access to a guided tutorial.
