Trauer和Mackinnon(2001；Quality of Life Research 10，pp.579-585)最近提出，在衡量生活质量时，通过重要性评级来加权满意度分数是不可取的，也是没有必要的。然而，他们没有使用经验数据来支持他们的说法。在这项研究中，由Cummins(1997；综合生活质量量表-成人：手册[Deakin，澳大利亚大学])开发的不同权重算法，Raphael等人。(1996；《青少年健康杂志》19，第366-375页)，Ferrans and Power(1985；护理科学进展8，第15-24页)和Frisch(1992；认知治疗综合案例[全会出版社，纽约])用于测量生活质量(QOL)。通过相关分析和缓和回归分析，将由这些加权算法计算的加权分数与预测全球生活满意度测量的未加权分数进行比较。国立台湾大学的130名本科生自愿参加了这项研究。他们完成了由作者开发的关于校园生活质量的15个项目的问卷。他们还完成了生活满意度量表(SWLS)，这是Diener等人开发的全球生活满意度测量工具。(1985年；《人格评估杂志》49，第71-75页)。相关结果表明，不同算法计算的加权分数与SWLS的相关性并不比未加权分数高。项目重要性对项目满意度和总体生活满意度之间的关系没有起到调节作用。所有这些发现都表明，对重要性的权重满意度是不必要的。
Trauer and Mackinnon (2001; Quality of life research 10, pp. 579–585) recently proposed that weighting satisfaction scores by importance ratings in measuring quality of life is undesirable and unnecessary. However, they didn’t use empirical data to support their claim. In this study, different weighting algorithms developed by Cummins (1997; Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale – Adult: Manual [Deakin, University Australia]), Raphael et al. (1996; Journal of Adolescent Health 19, pp. 366–375), Ferrans and Powers (1985; Advances in Nursing Science 8, pp. 15–24) and Frisch (1992; Comprehensive Casebook of Cognitive Therapy [Plenum Press, New York]) for measuring quality of life (QOL) were applied. Weighted scores computed from these weighting algorithms were compared with unweighted scores in predicting a global life satisfaction measure by correlation and moderated regression analyses. One hundred and thirty undergraduate students at National Taiwan University participated in the study voluntarily. They completed a 15-item questionnaire on quality of campus life developed by the authors. They also completed the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), a global life satisfaction measure developed by Diener et al. (1985; Journal of Personality Assessment 49, pp. 71–75). The correlation results revealed that the weighted scores computed from different algorithms didn’t have higher correlations to the SWLS than the unweighted scores. The moderated regression results also revealed that item importance did not moderate the relationship between item satisfaction and the overall life satisfaction. All these findings revealed that weighting satisfaction with importance is unnecessary.
