This study explored differences in wellness scores between a transcultural sample and the normative sample of the Five Factor wellness Inventory (5Fβwel; Myers & Sweeney, 2005c). Differences between the two groups were found on all scales of the 5fβwel, with transculturals scoring higher than the normative sample.
