ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of research designed to assess a multi-faceted approach to well-being prediction using single-item measures. The purpose was to create a practical well-being tool that can apply the understanding of well-being as a multi-faceted concept while limiting the impact on time and questionnaire length. Previous research had demonstrated the validity and reliability of single-item measures compared to multi-item measures and the research presented here expands on this by demonstrating the significance of the multi-dimensional approach using these items. As a basis for this research, a multi-faceted approach to well-being which defines well-being as the combination of positive, negative, emotional, and cognitive elements was used. This approach is based on previous research which has shown that well-being consists of related but distinct factors and allows for results to be applied to specific aspects of well-being.
