Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the construct validity and reliability of the subjective
well-being scale and test the components and indicators that make up the subjective well-being variables.
Subjective well-being is measured by two components, namely life satisfaction and affective (positive and
negative affect). The present study utilized the data collection method constructed in the subjective well-being
scale. Participants involved within this research were students of Ali Maksum Krapyak Islamic boarding school
and Al-Mahalli Islamic boarding school in Yogyakarta, amounting to 100 students. Research data were analyzed
with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through the SmartPLS 3.2.8 program. Based on the results of data
analysis, the components and indicators that comprise the subjective well-being variables are declared valid and
reliable. Out of the two components, the more dominant component that reflects the subjective well-being scale
is affective with loading factor of 0.984. This put life satisfaction as the weaker reflecting component with a
loading factor value of 0.923. These results indicate that all components and indicators are able to reflect and
construct subjective well-being variables. Thus it is determined that the measurement model can be accepted as
the theories that designate the subjective well-being variables are in accordance with the empirical data obtained
from subjects.
