Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS)
Diener Global Life Satisfaction Assessment
Are you satisfied with your life overall? The SWLS assesses your global cognitive judgment of life satisfaction — not how you feel today, but your take on life as a whole. 5 items, about 2-3 minutes.
How Satisfied Are You with Your Life?
How do you feel about your life as a whole? The SWLS gives you a number for that. Diener and colleagues created it back in 1985 — 5 items, short enough to be practical but with decades of research behind it.
