Abstract: Thriving is not merely a psychological or physical state or trait; it is rather a 'dynamic process of adaptation, influenced by numerous individual and social factors. It emerges and changes over a life span and may be identified in one's behavioural, cognitive, or affective domains'. Upon this premise, we identify thriving as a multidimensional construct, which requires an equally compatible scale to capture its multifacetedness. Hence, we propose a more comprehensive tri-dimensional thriving scale (TTS) based on a series of studies. The study uses a mixed methods approach, including in-depth interviews and quantitative surveys. For additional support, we also investigated our scale's convergent and discriminant validity with other theoretically similar constructs such as vigour, engagement, energy, passion, and happiness.
