Use Cases

• Validate the COMPAS-W Wellbeing Scale's psychometric properties based on reported reliability and factor analysis results.
• Compare wellbeing scores between clinical and non-clinical adolescent groups based on the reported mean scores.
• Analyze demographic differences in wellbeing based on reported sex and nationality comparisons.
• Investigate the dual-continua model of mental health based on the distribution of languishing, moderate, and flourishing wellbeing categories.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 1,078 adolescent participants, providing a substantial sample size for analysis.
• High internal reliability reported for the total scale (α = 0.912) and good test-retest reliability over 6 weeks (r = 0.845).
• Includes comparisons between non-clinical participants and those with developmental or psychiatric diagnoses, enabling group analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 64.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely containing only summary or aggregated data.
