Ryan and Frederick's (1997) measure of vitality, the subjective feeling of being alive and alert, was developed in the context of a single factor analysis. The present investigation employed structural equation modeling (SEM) to assess construct validity and utility of the new measure. A large sample (N = 526) was collected in two waves, allowing the investigators to further develop the model proposed by Ryan and Frederick, and to then validate it on a second data set. The final model is presented, and the process of achieving that model is discussed, as are the relative strengths of SEM in test development.
