The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Perceived Digital Well-Being Scale in a sample of Iranian female university students. This research employed a psychometric study design. The statistical population consisted of female students enrolled at public universities in Tehran during the 2025_2026 academic year. Using convenience sampling, 250 students were selected as the study sample. The instruments included the Perceived Digital Well-Being Scale (PDWS; Cruz et al., 2025), the WHO-5 Well-Being Index (Krieger et al., 2013), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS; Cohen et al., 1983). Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and internal consistency reliability methods. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated an acceptable fit for the three-factor model of the PDWS. Furthermore, the positive and significant correlations between the PDWS dimensions and well-being, as well as their negative correlations with perceived stress, supported the convergent and divergent validity of the scale (p < .01). The internal consistency coefficients of the PDWS, calculated using Cronbach’s alpha was .89 respectively. Overall, the findings suggest that the Persian version of the Perceived Digital Well-Being Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing digital well-being among female students at public universities in Tehran.
