title: [Validation and standardization of the "Questionnaire for Assessing Subjective Physical Well-Being" by Kolip and Schmidt in a representative German sample].
abstract: The "Questionnaire for Assessing Subjective Physical Well-Being" by Kolip and Schmidt is examined using data drawn from a nationally representative survey of 573 former East and 1900 former West Germans. In this non-clinical sample the construct "subjective physical well-being" assessed by the "Questionnaire for Assessing Subjective Physical Well-Being" seems to have just one dimension. As women and probands with growing age score lower for "subjective physical well-being" a differentiated standardization was done for gender and age. Connections between "subjective physical well-being" and body-image assessed by the "Body Image Questionnaire" (FKB-20), quality of life ("EURO-HIS-QOL"), and questions for concerns about financial situation, family and health give hints for validity of the questionnaire.
