In this paper the authors report the development and preliminary evaluation of the Rogerian-based Well-Being Picture Scale-Children�s Version in a sample of 19 fourth and fifth grade students. Data was collected in conjunction with a larger study that examined childhood overweight and depression, and other measurements in the data set included the Child Depression Inventory. Scores on the Child Depression Inventory indicated that 20% of the children in the study were at risk for depression. A significant statistical inverse correlation (p < .05) was found between the post-test scores on the Well-Being Picture Scale-Children�s Version and the Child Depression Inventory indicating that as depression scores increase well-being scores decrease.
