Flourishing Scale

The Flourishing Scale (FS) is an 8-item measure of human flourishing developed by Diener and colleagues in 2010. It assesses psychological well-being across core dimensions including purpose, social connection, competence, and engagement. The scale operationalizes Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia—the realization of human potential—and provides researchers with a brief, validated tool for quantifying overall psychological flourishing independent of life satisfaction or mood.
