生活满意度量表（SWLS）是在美国开发的，代表一个多项目量表，用于对生活满意度进行总体评估，作为一个认知判断过程，而不是用于测量特定满意度领域（例如健康、物质财富）。本研究是进一步尝试使用大量健康年轻人样本来扩展 SWLS 在不同文化背景（荷兰）中的适用性。与美国和荷兰之前的调查结果一致，SWLS 内部结构的数据相当有利。 SWLS 分数也被证明与婚姻状况、一般健康指数、自尊、欣快感、烦躁 (-) 和神经质 (-) 相关，仅在男性中，看全科医生的次数多与 SWLS 显着负相关，正如预期的那样，SWLS 与生物性别、冲动、去抑制和无聊易感性的关联很低，可以忽略不计。 与社交能力呈显着正相关的报道尚未得到证实。相反，我们观察到了显着但较小的相关性，并在研究结果的背景下讨论了这种相关性的产生，这些发现表明，外向性的其他方面与生活满意度的相关性比社交能力更密切。这些其他方面包括男性的自信和女性的积极情绪。 (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) was developed in the U.S.A. to represent a multi-item scale for the overall assessment of life satisfaction as a cognitive-judgemental process, rather than for the measurement of specific satisfaction domains (e.g. health, material wealth). The present study was a further attempt to extend the applicability of the SWLS in a different cultural context (The Netherlands) using a large sample of healthy young adults. In line with previous American and Dutch findings, figures on the internal structure of the SWLS were quite favourable. SWLS scores were also shown to be predictably associated with marital status, indices of general health, self-esteem, euphoria, dysphoria (-) and neuroticism (-), A high number of visits to the GP correlated significantly negatively with SWLS in males only, As anticipated, associations of the SWLS with biological sex, impulsivity, disinhibition and boredom susceptibility were negligibly low, The frequently reported substantial positive correlation with sociability was not confirmed. Instead, significant but small correlations were observed, the yield of which was discussed in the context of findings showing that there are other aspects of extraversion that are more strongly related to satisfaction with life than sociability. These other aspects include assertiveness in males and positive emotion in females. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
