AB  - PURPOSE: This study translates the Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS) into Chinese 
      and examines its factor structure and measurement invariance in a sample of 
      Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong. METHODS: Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong were 
      invited to participate in the study. Four models of the SVS (a 7-item model, two 
      6-item models and a 5-item model) were compared using confirmatory factor 
      analysis (CFA). The internal consistency reliability was evaluated using 
      Cronbach's alpha coefficients, and the criterion validity was assessed using 
      bivariate correlations between subjective vitality and positive and negative 
      affect. Finally, measurement invariance across genders and time points was 
      examined to evaluate the invariance of the SVS model. RESULTS: The results of the 
      CFA analysis indicated that the 5-item measurement model fit the data better than 
      the other three models. The Cronbach's alpha was above 0.70 (0.92), revealing 
      excellent internal consistency reliability, and the SVS was significantly 
      associated with positive affect and negatively associated with negative affect, 
      indicating criterion validity. Finally, the measurement invariance analysis of 
      the 5-item model displayed strict invariance across genders and time points. 
      CONCLUSIONS: The results support the 5-item measurement model of the Chinese 
      version of the SVS. This model has excellent internal consistency reliability, 
      supports the criterion validity of the instrument and demonstrates strict 
      invariance across genders and time points. In summary, the findings suggest that 
      the 5-item Chinese version of the SVS is a reliable and valid instrument for 
      assessing the subjective vitality of Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong.
