The spectral model of personal wellbeing and the validity of the Personal Wellbeing Spectral Questionnaire.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Personal wellbeing is a multidimensional construct encompassing emotional, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects. To capture this complexity, we introduce the Personal Wellbeing Spectrum Theory, which organizes these dimensions into two higher-order domains: internal wellbeing (emotional and psychological) and external wellbeing (social and spiritual). The paper aimed to conceptualize this theory and to develop and validate the Personal Wellbeing Spectrum Questionnaire (PWBSQ), a tool designed to operationalize the model. Methods: The structural validity of PWBSQ was examined in a large online sample ( Results: The hierarchical model demonstrated good fit across multiple samples (RMSEA around 0.06, SRMR round 0.04, CFI and TLI around 0.95), with consistent reliability (α and ω > 0.79). Measurement invariance was supported across five sociodemographic variables. The questionnaire showed meaningful associations with subjective financial situation, gender, education, and family characteristics, while marital status and occupation had only minor effects. Discussion: Findings confirm the Personal Wellbeing Spectrum Theory and support the PWBSQ as a reliable and valid instrument for assessing multidimensional wellbeing. This tool provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive measure of personal wellbeing that can be applied across diverse populations, facilitating both theoretical development and practical assessment in health and social sciences.
