Satisfaction with Life Scale

       Ed Diener, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

WHAT THE QUESTIONNAIRE MEASURES:
       The Satisfaction with Life Scale was developed to assess satisfaction with people's lives as a whole. The scale does
not assess satisfaction with specific life domains, such as health or finances, but allows subjects to integrate and weigh
these domains in whatever way they choose. It takes only a few minutes to complete.
