Life Satisfaction Scale

Summary: A scale of bipolar adjectives, the Family Satisfaction by Adjectives Scale (F.S.A.S.), is presented, consisting of 27 items designed to measure family satisfaction, mainly related to the affective connotation derived from family interaction. After applying the scale to a sample of 274 subjects and 16 patients in family therapy, we obtained (a) acceptable indicators of internal consistency (α = .976) and temporal stability (rxx = 0.758), (b) clear evidence of unidimensionality, (c) significant linear correlations with other measures of family satisfaction (Family Satisfaction, Olson & Wilson, 1982 ; Family Satisfaction Scale, Carver, & Jones, 1992 ), and (d) significant differences between a normal sample and a clinical one.

Life Satisfaction Scale

In a predominantly middle-aged sample of 182, the four items of the Kansas Family Life Satisfaction Scale demonstrated adequate internal consistency. Further evidence of construct validity was found, as well as limited discriminant validity. The scale was positively correlated with Edmonds's measure of marital conventionalization, and a pattern of unequal variance at different levels of social desirability was found.

Life Satisfaction Scale

My aim was to adapt the Family Life Satisfaction Scale, which was developed by Barraca, Yarto and Olea (2000), for use with a Turkish sample and to examine the adapted scale's reliability and validity. In Study 1, I administered the translated scale to 441 participants from a range of age groups, and in Study 2 the finalized scale's reliability and validity were assessed with a separate sample (N = 506). Further, in Study 3, I examined the convergent validity of the FLSS by comparing it with the Satisfaction With Life Scale, in a sample of 436 Turkish students in grades 9–12. The results of confirmatory factor analysis verified the scale's single-factor model, and exploratory factor analysis supported the single-dimension structure of the original scale. Tests for convergent validity yielded significant correlations between life satisfaction and scale scores. Both internal consistency reliability and composite reliability were .95. Corrected item–total correlations ranged from .48 to .75. Thus, results of all analyses indicated that the Family Life Satisfaction Scale, as adapted, is valid and reliable for use with Turkish samples.

Family satisfaction is significant and complex concept that includes personal satisfaction and relationship satisfaction among family members.

The research was conducted on a convenient sample of students/young people (N=50) and their parents (N=84). For the purposes of this research The Family Satisfaction Scale from FACES IV instrument (Olson, 2010) was used. The mentioned scale measures the positive aspects of relationship among the family members. The results indicate that young people and their parents are generally satisfied with their family life. On some items of the scale there is statistically significant difference among young people and their parents. Parents are more satisfied with their family life than their children. These results are encouraging especially in the context of COVID 19 pandemics and increasing numbers of undesirable family relationships.
