Confirmatory confirmed latent structure, providing good data-model fit statistics. Further results also showed internal reliability scale its subscales were strong. Finally, path model first– high–order measurement had positive significant predictive effects on life satisfaction negative psychological distress, accounting approximately large variance variables.
