Positive emotion consists3items, negative emotion consists3items and teacher-student relationship consists4items.(2) The middle school student’s subjective well-being scale is of high reliability and fair validity. The scale’s internal consistency reliability (α coefficient) was0.865. Concerning the construct validity, the result of twice exploring factor analysis showed that the3factors extracted could account for more than60%, and the correlation coefficient between factors also reached significance. And concerning the content validity, four psychology graduate students and three experts and professors in Zhejiang Normal University have evaluated the scale, respectively.(3) High school students in the school subjective well-being in above-average levels, middle school students in school life can feel the relative more happiness;(4) The middle school student’s subjective well-being scale showed that there was a significant correlation between different factors of personal, family and school.
