This study attempted to ascertain the construct validity and external validity of the Mental Health Inventory in a Chinese population in Taiwan and contrast these results with results obtained from studies of several U.S. populations. In particular, a series of measurement models were specified and evaluated to address the issues of reliability and validity. Data were collected from personal interviews of a probability sample of 1,194 Chinese respondents 14 years of age and older in four townships in southwest Taiwan. The Mental Health Inventory was found to involve two major components: positive well-being and psychological distress. As a hierarchical structure, each component consists of one second-order and two or three first-order factors. The relationships between well-being and distress can be characterized as substantially independent and modestly bipolar depending on the level and specification
