TLDR
The SWLS-3 and the HILS-3 demonstrate good psychometric properties, including very high internal consistency and item total correlations, strong test-retest reliability, where two-factor models of cognitive well-being tend to yield very good fit indices.
Abstract
The cognitive components of subjective well-being can be measured with the Satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) and the Harmony in life scale (HILS), which both comprise five items each. The aim of ...

Validation of a general subjective well-being factor using Classical Test Theory

TL;DR: It is proposed that harmony in life should be seen as SWB’s social component since it is the sense of balance between the individual and the world around her—a process that comprises acceptance, adaptation, and balance.

Teaching in a Time of Crisis

TL;DR: The authors focused on the life and work of Mouloud Feraoun, a successful novelist who remained dedicated to his work as a teacher in a French primary school, even when his work placed his life at threat from both sides in the Algerian war of independence (during which the FLN at one point called a boycott of French schools).

Natural language analyzed with AI-based transformers predict traditional subjective well-being measures approaching the theoretical upper limits in accuracy

TL;DR: The authors showed that using a recent break-through in artificial intelligence -transformers- psychological assessments from text-responses can approach theoretical upper limits in accuracy, converging with standard psychological rating scales.

Semantic measures: Using natural language processing to measure, differentiate, and describe psychological constructs.

TL;DR: This work develops an approach using open-ended questions in which the responses are analyzed using natural language processing (Latent Semantic Analyses), and demonstrates that the approach using semantic questions yields good statistical properties with competitive, or higher, validity and reliability compared with corresponding numerical rating scales.

Longitudinal measurement invariance of the Satisfaction With Life Scale in adolescence.

TL;DR: The present study confirmed the single-factor structure of the SWLS in Spanish adolescents, as well as a good reliability and composite reliability, and there were negligible differences across time points considering gender and age.

Conceptualizing and Measuring Well-Being Using Statistical Semantics and Numerical Rating Scales

TL;DR: In this article, an open-ended approach is developed to measure the self-reported well-being of individuals, which involves both theorizing as well as developing and applying empirical and statistical methods in order to gain a better understanding of wellbeing.
