In response to growing concerns about youth depression in Thailand, positive psychology has emerged as a promising field for nurturing inner strengths and well-being. Guided by the concept of Covitality, efforts have been made to enhance positive psychological resources; however, comprehensive assessments in this area remain limited. This study aimed to develop and validate the Thai version of the Social and Emotional Health Survey-Secondary (SEHS-S) by examining its psychometric properties. Participants included 502 high school students in Bangkok, with 337 males and 165 females between the ages of 15 and 18. A Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to test Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) of the second-order factor model, structural path analysis to Subjective Well-Being, and the correlational analysis and point-biserial analysis between SEHS-S outcomes and Quality-of-Life Indicators. Results adequately supported the Covitality construct Furthermore, the correlational results revealed the SEHS-S significantly associated with self-reported academic achievement (r = 0.28, p < .001), and self-reported perceptions of school safety (r = 0.03, p = .001), but no associations to self-reported experienced depressive symptoms (r = -0.08, p = .116). These findings suggested that Thai version of SEHS-S is an appropriate tool in assessing adolescent positive mental health, particularly adolescents within high school contexts.
