Abstract: There have been a lot of arguments about the way happiness can be measured. Multiple questionnaires and inventories are used for this purpose. The present study seeks to formulate and determine psychometric features (stability and reliability) and a confirmative factor-based structure is proposed. B.A. and M.A. students of Ahvaz Azad University in year 94–95 participate in this study. 350 students were randomly selected and data was collected using happiness inventory. Data analysis revealed the intended inventory consists of 5 factors and 43 elements. This inventory enjoys relatively high reliability and validity. The confirmative factor – based structure also showed the inventory has a five element model.
