Abstract In the present study, we examined the reliability and validity of the Questionnaire for Eudaimonic Well-Being (QEWB; Waterman et al., 2010) in a sample of 708 adolescent students belonging to one of the southern states in India, Kerala. The internal consistency reliability estimate suggested that the QEWB was reliable. Results of confirmatory factor analysis provided support for factorial validity of the QEWB. Results of bivariate correlational analyses provided support for convergent validity (relations with global and domain-specific life satisfaction), discriminant validity (relations with Big Five personality traits), and construct validity (relations with global self-esteem and social anxiety) of the QEWB. The test-retest reliability coefficient demonstrated the temporal stability of the QEWB ( n  = 526). Results of multi-group confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the QEWB was invariant across genders.
