“…The results that we obtained are inconsistent with those of other published CFAs of all the MSLSS items, which produced acceptable model fit for a measurement structure with five correlated latent factors (Gilman 1999;Gilman et al 2000;Greenspoon and Saklofske 1998;Huebner et al 1998;Park 2000;Park et al 2004), and a second-order factor (Gilman 1999;Gilman et al 2000;Huebner et al 1998). These differences can be partly attributed to the different methodological approaches that were employed.…”

“…Based on the results of several confirmatory factor analyses, it has been suggested that the reliability and construct validity of the MSLSS, for the measurement of satisfaction with family, friends, living environment, school and self, are supported by having confirmed the fit of a measurement structure with five correlated first-order factors (Gilman 1999;Gilman and Ashby 2003;Greenspoon and Saklofske 1998;Huebner et al 1998;Park 2000;Park et al 2004). The construct validity, for the measurement of general quality of life, has been examined by fitting a second-order factor that accounted for the correlations among the fivefirst-order factors (Gilman 1999;Gilman et al 2000;Huebner and Gilman 2002;Huebner et al 1998).…”

Sample Heterogeneity and the Measurement Structure of the Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale

et al. 2008

Several measurement assumptions were examined with the goal of assessing the validity of the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS), a measure of adolescents' satisfaction with their family, friends, living environment, school, self, and general quality of life. The data were obtained via a cross-sectional survey of 8,225 adolescents in British Columbia, Canada. Confirmatory factor and factor mixture analyses of ordinal data were used to examine the measurement assumptions. The adolescents did not respond to all the MSLSS items in a psychometrically equivalent manner. A correlated five-factor model for an abridged version of the MSLSS resulted in good fit when all negatively worded items and several positively worded items (the least invariant) were excluded. The abridged 18-item version of the MSLSS provides a promising alternative for the measurement of five life domains that are pertinent to adolescents' quality of life.

“…A reliability analysis (Cronbachs alpha) was performed on all 25 parts for the 250 subjects that completed the questionnaire during the study. The alpha value was 0.76, which is considered to be acceptable, as suggested in Greenspoon and Saklofske (1998). The respondents participating to the survey, were randomly selected on a one-person per family basis at the residential areas of the main street and its 6 connecting streets.…”

Traffic noise is a major environmental source of pollution in the whole planet, both in developed and in developing nations. The study being reported here has been carried out on one of the most busy and crowded streets in the downtown area of Kerman, located in south east of Iran, which have heavy traffic during the day. Total of 20 measuring points were selected along the main road and its 6 connecting streets. In this study the A-weighted continuous equivalent sound level values and statistical levels were manually measured at each site separately. The noise equivalent level varied between 66 to 79.5 dBA. The results of the study established the fact that noise levels are more than the acceptable limit of 60 dBA, which is the daytime governmentally prescribed noise limit for residential-commercial areas. This paper also describes the reaction of the environmental noise of the city of Kerman. A total of 250 questionnaires were processed. The results of the interview questionnaire revealed the following items; (I) the main isolated noise source was traffic (50%) and street noise (34%); (II) 70% of the people classified the noise in his/her street as "very high"; (III) 52% and 48% of the respondents answered that noise bother them more in morning and evening, respectively; (IV) 86% and 86.8% of the subjects answered that traffic noise produce physicsl and psychological annoyance to them; (V) the main outcomes of exposure to noise were: irritability (40.8%), insomnia (24%), difficulty in concentrating (16%) and conservation disruption (16%).

“…Additionally, in subsequent studies conducted to evaluate its psychometric properties in its English version and in the original target population, stability was established in terms of reliability and support for the multidimensionality (Greenspoon & Saklofske, 1997;Greenspoon & Saklofske, 1998;Gilman, Huebner, & Laughlin, 2000).…”

Life Satisfaction in Chilean University Students: An Examination of the Relation between Gender and Socioeconomic Level

et al. 2018

The objectives of this study were to examine the psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale in university students (MSLSS) (Huebner, 1998) in a sample of university students from northern, central and southern Chile, where indicators of reliability and construct validity were examined. Also, it seeks to describe the levels of life satisfaction of students and to examine differences between gender and between socioeconomic statuses. The study is quantitative with a cross-sectional descriptive-relational design. The Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale was applied to a sample of 306 university students in northern, central and southern Chile, as well as a questionnaire that collected sociodemographic variables. It was used confirmatory factor analysis to evaluate the model expected from the five factors of the 40-item version of the scale. The results showed the scale had adequate psychometric behavior in this type of population, where also high satisfaction levels in overall and specific domains were found, and group differences were found by gender but not by socioeconomic status.
