Happiness can be related to
one’s satisfaction with life. A Satisfaction with Life Scale,
authored by Ed Diener, Robert A. Emmons, Randy J. Larsen and Sharon Griffin as
noted in the 1985 article in the Journal of Personality Assessment, is
a one-minute survey that can be helpful.
Below are five statements
that you may agree or disagree with. Using the 1 - 7 scale below, indicate your
agreement with each item by placing the appropriate number on the line
preceding that item. Please be open and honest in your responding.
- 7 - Strongly agree
- 6 - Agree
- 5 - Slightly agree
- 4 - Neither agree nor disagree
- 3 - Slightly disagree
- 2 - Disagree
- 1 - Strongly disagree
____ The
conditions of my life are excellent.
____ I am
satisfied with my life.
____ So far I
have gotten the important things I want in life.
____ If I could
live my life over, I would change almost nothing.
Add up the
numbers and find your total score in one of the ranges below.
- 31 - 35 Extremely satisfied
- 26 - 30 Satisfied
- 21 - 25 Slightly satisfied
- 20 - Neutral
- 15 - 19 Slightly dissatisfied
- 10 - 14 Dissatisfied
- 5 - 9 Extremely dissatisfied
My brain’s opinion? If your
score shows you are anything but satisfied, take this as a clue that you may
need to make some significant changes in your life. More information: http://internal.psychology.illinois.edu/~ediener/SWLS.html
