Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (SSWQ)

This measure is for childrenThis is a free measure

Created by Tyler Renshaw, the Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire provides a holistic view of wellbeing across four domains: joy of learning, school connectedness, education purpose, and academic efficacy. The questionnaire consists of 16 positively stated items that students rank on a 4-point Likert scale, representing the frequency that statement is true in their life. It is appropriate for students Ages 11-14. Renshaw has also created a Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire which can be used in conjunction with this survey for greater continuity across populations.
