Abstract：Objective To evaluate the application of the Chinese version of wellbeing literacy 6 item scale(Well-Lit6)among military cadets in China.Methods A total of 792 undergraduate cadets of a military university were investi-gated by whole-group sampling method.The homogeneous reliability and fold-half reliability of the scale were tested by i-tem analysis of the overall sample;the construct validity was tested by exploratory factor analysis and validation factor analysis;the criterion-related validity and convergent-discriminant validity was tested by correlation analysis;incremental validity was tested by the hierarchical regression analysis;exploring the wellbeing literacy characteristics of military ca-dets by independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance.Results The items discrimination of the scale was good,with a coefficient of 0.970 and a split-half reliability of 0.896,the homogeneity reliability and split-half reliability were good,the scale model fit was good,and the construct validity was good.Wellbeing literacy was significantly correla-ted with related indicators(P＜0.001),and the scale had good criterian-related validity and convergent-discriminant va-lidity.After gradually adding demographic variables,known predictors and the wellbeing literacy,the △R2 of dependent variables(subjective wellbeing,life satisfaction,depression and anxiety)among 0.186-0.208,0.128-0.249 and 0.007-0.064 respectively(all P＜0.05),the incremental validity of the scale was better;the differences in total wellbeing lit-eracy scores were statistically significant for age,gender,parenting style and cadet's category(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The Chinese version of the Well-Lit6 demonstrates good reliability and validity among military cadets,which is suitable as a measurement tool for assessing the wellbeing literacy of this group,and there are significant effects of age,gender,cadet category and parenting style on wellbeing literacy of military cadets.
