Cronbach’s alpha of the general scale was α = .86. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the daily scale ranged fromα = .95 to α = .97. Response options ranged from1 (totally disagree) to 7 (totally agree). Confirmatory Factor Analysis Using Sample 2, we performed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the eight proactive vitality management items using AMOS software (Arbuckle, 2013). To assess model fit, four different fit indices were used. For absolute model fit, the goodness of fit index (GFI) and the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) were examined. In addition, for relative model fit, we examined the Tucker-Lewis index (TLI) and the comparative fit index (CFI). Values of .08 and under (for SRMR) or .90 and over (for CFI, TLI, and GFI) indicate acceptable fit, although some scholars have argued that .95 is a better cut-off point (Byrne, 2001; Hu & Bentler, 1999). The results generally indicated acceptable fit for the one-factor model (CFI = .94, TLI = .92, GFI = .95, SRMR = .044), with standardized factor-loadings ranging from .58 to .76 (all p’s < .001). Taken together, our results show
