VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF SUBJECTIVE WELLBEING INDICATORS IN SOCIOLOGICAL RESEARCH – THE MEASUREMENT OF LIFE SATISFACTION

Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is the level of accuracy i.e. validity and reliability of subjective well-being indicators in sociological research, in case of life satisfaction. First, the relationship between subjective and objective indicators of well-being is presented. Second, the concept of life satisfaction is defined, and the findings of research related to the validity (convergent, discriminant, and predictive) and reliability (test-retest, and internal consistency) of life satisfaction measures are presented. Third, these findings were reassessed using data originating from large international surveys, which have not been used for this purpose yet. The results in this paper generally contribute to, in quite a large extent existing agreement within the scientific literature about the satisfactory level of validity and reliability of life satisfaction measures i.e. subjective indicators of well-being.
