This research represents the first phase of a project exploring the relationship between
insight and human well-being. In this case, the term “well-being” is derived from
Seligman’s theoretical model of happiness, PERMA (Seligman, 2011). Self-reflection is
defined as “inspection and evaluation,” and insight as “clarity of understanding”
regarding one's thoughts, feelings, and behavior (Grant, 2002). This research aims to
evaluate the validity of questionnaires measuring well-being and self-reflection/insight
when applied to a Thai audience. EPOCH contains 20 questions measuring 5
components, (Engagement, Perseverance, Optimism, Connectedness, and Happiness).
SRIS contains 20 questions designed to measure self-reflection and insight. The
developed questionnaires are based on EPOCH, which measures well-being, (Kern et
al., 2016) and the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS). (Grant et al., 2002).
