The aim of the present study was to develop the short form of one of the most widely used social well-being scales (developed bye Keyes, 1998) to be used in Iranian samples.

The development of the short form of the social well-being scale was intended to be based on the improvement of the factorial validity of the subscales. Method: Four hundred and fifty four students (261 girls and 193 boys) of Tehran University were included. The mean age was 22.18. All students were asked to complete Keyes’ 33-item social well-being scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to analyze the data.

Abstract
Introduction: Social well-being is considered as one of the important dimensions of health among special groups such as blind and visually-impaired individuals, which due to the lack of access to visual information and extensive social interactions with other people, is first rooted in their mental perceptions of the concept of health. This research is a theoretical and experimental study of the social well-being of the blind and visually-impaired individuals in Kashan city and the identification of factors related to it.
Method: This research was conducted through a survey questionnaire and the investigated statistical population included 652 blind and partially sighted people of Kashan, out of which 211 people were selected as the statistical sample using the Sample Power Software.
Findings: The results of the multivariate regression analysis show the direct effect of the variables “mental health”, “social security”, and “social abilities” on “social well-being”, which in total explained 53% of the variance of the social well-being of blind and partially sighted people in Kashan city. Also, the results of the evaluation of the structural model indicate that the effect size of the “mental health” variable is at a high level, while other variables are at a low level. In addition, the predictive power of the model has been evaluated at a moderate to high level.
Discussion: Overall, the results indicate that the mean score of the social well-being variable of the blind and partially sighted is higher than the theoretical mean score. Based on the experimental findings of the research, especially the average amount of the variables as well as the confirmed hypotheses, it is possible to define and implement plans to improve or promote social well-being among this group.
