| Abstract: | Correction Notice: An erratum for this article was reported in Vol 41(4) of Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science/Revue canadienne des sciences du comportement (see record 2009-18333-006). The DOI printed in the article was incorrect. The correct DOI should be as follows: DOI: 10.1037/a0012555.] Spiritual well-being is a dimension of subjective well-being which has enjoyed renewed interest for about 10 years. As far as the authors know, there is no scale in French to assess it. Our research work therefore sets out to adapt and validate in French Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) by Paloutzian and Ellison, published in 1982. To that end, 368 first- and second-year students took part in three studies. Results confirm the three-dimension structure designed by Scott et al. in 1998, justifying its use with the French population. Yet, the change of items in each dimension, which is currently under discussion, could well display some differences in spiritual well-being between young North American people and young French people.
