Wallace, K. A.; Wheeler, A. J.

Educational and Psychological Measurement, v62 n4 p674-84 Aug 2002

Examined the score reliability of a measure of life satisfaction, the Life Satisfaction Index (LSI) using 34 research studies. Results reveal an average reliability of 0.79. Results provide evidence for adequate reliability of LSI scores across a variety of sample characteristics, but they must be interpreted with caution given the small sample size. (SLD)
