Overall sample (n = 43)			Mean	SD	Range	Kurtosis	Skewness		Cronbach α	Retest
Flourishing Scale			48.16	4.402	38–56	−0.407	−0.402		0.782	r(35) = 0.84
Subjective Vitality Scale			34.58	4.349	25–42	−0.487	−0.128		0.785	r(36) = 0.87

Subgroups were derived using a median split (>48 for high-flourishing, >35 for high-vital subjects). Participants with median value were assigned to the lower subgroup to balance group size.
