This quantitative synthesis combines results of 59 studies that published psychometrics of the Five Factor Wellness Inventory (5F‐Wel; Myers & Sweeney, 2005a, 2005b). Although few studies reported complete statistics, and demographically targeted research studies are needed, this synthesis reflects that the 5F‐Wel (also known as the FFWEL; Mind Garden, n.d.) is sound psychometrically for adults: Internal consistency, subsample means, and intrascale correlations are promising, as are correlations with related constructs. Consequently, the 5F‐Wel demonstrates utility for clinical use when working with clients on wellness goals.
