AB  - BACKGROUND: This longitudinal study aimed to develop a nine-item Brief 
      Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (BSAWS) derived from the original 40-item 
      Self-Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS). METHODS: The psychometric properties of the 
      shortened scale were evaluated based on a sample of 157 older adults. The factor 
      structure and dimensionality of the original SAWS were examined using 
      confirmatory factor analysis. Subsequent explorative factor analysis of the BSAWS 
      supported the construct validity of the shortened scale. RESULTS: The internal 
      consistency, convergent validity and construct validity of the shortened scale 
      were also evaluated and the results indicated that the BSAWS possesses good 
      psychometric properties and is comparable with the full version. CONCLUSIONS: 
      This scale refinement may help researchers and practitioners conduct 
      epistemological surveys or clinical research related to wisdom.
