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

Dongdong Wang,Jihui Ma +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential factors that influence public traffic to attract car users were found, and these factors can be used to measure explicit variables to describe the composition of explicit measurement of model variables and latent variables, the structural equation structural model and measurement model to form a complete model.

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.

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.
