Article Abstract
Aims: This article evaluates the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 5-item WHO Well-Being Index (WHO-5) in mainland China.
Methods: Two cross-sectional studies with 1,414 participants from a university in China were conducted. The Chinese version of the WHO-5 was assessed to determine its internal consistency, concurrent validity, factorial validity, and construct validity.
Results: The results indicate that the WHO-5 is unidimensional and has good internal consistency, with Cronbach's = 0.85 and 0.81 in Study 1 ( = 903) and Study 2 ( = 511), respectively. The findings also demonstrate that the WHO-5 has good concurrent validity with other well-established measures of wellbeing, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and mental wellbeing. The results of confirmatory factor analysis also suggest that the scale has a good model fit.
Conclusions: This study provides empirical data demonstrating that the Chinese version of the WHO-5 has good psychometric properties. The scale can be a useful measure in epistemological studies and clinical research related to wellbeing in Chinese populations.

Despite the evidence indicating that accommodating preferences leads to better outcomes, we currently know very little about what psychotherapists prefer to deliver and whether this matches patient preferences. This research aimed to understand the degree of mismatching between patients' preferences in psychotherapy and psychotherapists' preferred psychotherapy delivery in Chinese clinical contexts. We utilized three samples from two different Chinese clinical contexts.

However, its psychometric properties have rarely been evaluated in Chinese populations.
