The Satisfaction With Life Scale and the emerging construct of life satisfaction
Journal of Positive Psychology, 2008Since its introduction in 1985, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS; Diener, Emmons, Larsen, & Griffin, 1985) has been heavily used as a measure of the life satisfaction component of subjective well-being. Scores on the SWLS have been shown to correlate with measures of mental health and to be predictive of future behaviors such as suicide attempts.

Journal of Happiness Studies, 2006This paper studies the nature of the relationship between life satisfaction and satisfaction in domains of life. The domains-of-life literature assumes that a person’s overall satisfaction with his or her life depends on his or her satisfaction in many concrete areas of life, which are classified into a few main domains of life.

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009 We analyze the determinants of global life satisfaction in two countries (The Netherlands and the U.S.), by using both self-reports and responses to a battery of vignette questions. We find global life satisfaction of happiness is well-described by four domains: job or daily activities, social contacts and family, health, and income.

Journal of Personality Assessment, 1985This article reports the development and validation of a scale to measure global life satisfaction, the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS).

However, in the second half of the 1980s, and especially in the 1990s, the situation changed considerably.

Taking the satisfaction (and the life) out of life satisfaction
Philosophical Explorations, 2011The science of well-being studies an evaluative kind, well-being, which raises natural worries about the ability of empirical research to deliver.

The Dynamic Process of Life Satisfaction
Journal of Personality, 2006Drawing from the Cognitive Affective Personality System (Mischel & Shoda, 1995, 1998), we argue for a need to examine within-individual variation in life satisfaction. Thus, employing a diary study of 76 fully employed, married adults we examined the magnitude, antecedents, and consequences of intra-individual variation in life satisfaction.
