Internal reliability and convergent validity of the Depression-Happiness Scale with the General Health Questionnaire in an employed adult sample.
The aim of this study was to investigate the internal reliability and convergent validity of the 1993 McGreal and Joseph Depression-Happiness Scale. Internal reliability was satisfactory and higher scores on the scale were associated with lower scores of 60 working adults on the General Health Questionnaire of Goldberg and Williams.
