TLDR
In this article, the authors developed and tested a measure of travel-related subjective well-being, the nine item self-report satisfaction with travel scale (STS), which measures the benefits individuals derive from travel improvements.Abstract:
Subjective well-being (SWB) that includes individuals' cognitive and affective evaluations of life in general is proposed to be a more appropriate measure capturing the benefits individuals derive from travel improvements. We develop and test a measure of travel-related SWB, the nine item self-report satisfaction with travel scale (STS). In a survey of 155 undergraduates, STS, mood ratings, and ratings of SWB were collected for three hypothetical weekdays differing in travel mode, travel time, access to bus stops, and daily activity agenda. The results showed that STS is reliable and differentiates between changes in travel conditions. STS, mood, and to some extent SWB were shown to be affected by travel mode (bus vs. car), travel time, access to bus stops, and the number of activities in the daily agenda.read more

The relationship between norms, satisfaction and public transport use: a comparison across six European cities using structural equation modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the key drivers of satisfaction with public transport and their relationship with travel frequency and willingness to recommend public transport to others, hence contributing specifically by analysing the influence of social norms in travel use and found significant differences in satisfaction across respondents' socio-economic characteristics as young respondents and students were less satisfied with service quality than middle-aged and elderly respondents despite more frequent use.

Perceived Accessibility, Satisfaction with Daily Travel, and Life Satisfaction among the Elderly.
TL;DR: It is concluded that this moderating role played by age clearly indicates that the elderly should not be treated as a homogenous group in research and transport planning.

Should we all just stay home? Travel, out-of-home activities, and life satisfaction
TL;DR: For example, this article found that travel time per day is significantly and positively associated with life satisfaction, and the relationship is attenuated but still significant when the amount of time spent participating in out-of-home activities is controlled for.
Journal ArticleDOI
Satisfaction-induced travel behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, a new model is proposed reshaping the links between travel satisfaction, travel attitudes and travel mode choice, and the authors focus on the implications of the proposed model on travel behaviour research.

Development and validation of brief measures of positive and negative affect: The PANAS scales.
TL;DR: Two 10-item mood scales that comprise the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) are developed and are shown to be highly internally consistent, largely uncorrelated, and stable at appropriate levels over a 2-month time period.

The Satisfaction with Life Scale
TL;DR: The Satisfaction With Life Scale is narrowly focused to assess global life satisfaction and does not tap related constructs such as positive affect or loneliness, but is shown to have favorable psychometric properties, including high internal consistency and high temporal reliability.

The Satisfaction With Life Scale.
TL;DR: The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) as mentioned in this paper is a scale to measure global life satisfaction, which does not tap related constructs such as positive affect or loneliness, and has favorable psychometric properties, including high internal consistency and high temporal reliability.

Subjective Well-Being: Three Decades of Progress
TL;DR: Wilson's (1967) review of the area of subjective well-being (SWB) advanced several conclusions regarding those who report high levels of "happiness". A number of his conclusions have been overturned: youth and modest aspirations no longer are seen as prerequisites of SWB.
