This paper describes a development of a psychological positive health scale for healthy people. A personality properties such as lively, positive, active, and brisk performances are one of an indicato...r for personal psychological positive health. We have developed a psychological positive health inventory, the Psychological Lively Scale(PLS). The PLS consisted of 20-item positive health scale and 10-item negative health scale. Later negative scale involved pathological items in order to clarify the meaning of positive scale. A total of 538 subjects (160 men and 378 women) participated in this study. Results of statistical analysis indicated that there were four subscales in the items of positive health, such as positiveness, stability of mood, self-acceptance and life satisfaction.

In negative health scale, mean total score of all subjects was 20.61 and of men was 20.47, of women was 20.68. Total score of positive health increased with aging of subjects.show more
