Participants were students from bachelor level of 15 faculties （N = 530）, Prince of Songkla University, Hatyai Campus, Thailand. Content validity was examined by six experts （I-CVI = 1）. Construct validity was evaluated by factor analysis with four latent factors： noble mind, moral living, mindful management, and attentive learning. The reliability coefficient of SHTUSI with 30 items was satisfactory value （Cronbach＇s α = .89）. Each factor has good internal reliability which includes： （1） noble mind （Cronbach＇s α = .86）; （2） moral living （Cronbach＇s a = .78）; （3） mindful management （Cronbach＇s α = .77）; and （4） attentive learning （Cronbach＇s α = .76）. Furthermore, the test-retest reliability was .51 and the concurrent validity was tested by Thai Happiness Indicator with moderate correlation （Pearson＇s r = .574, p 〈 .01）. The finding suggests that the development instrument has adequate validity and reliability.展开更多
