“…Current findings are consistent with what has been previously observed about quality of life (Arun & Çevik, 2011) and life domain satisfaction in Portugal (Paiva et al, 2009). For example, Paiva et al (2009) point out that many elderly persons in Portugal were financially very deprived without resources to consecrate to leisure, and tend to experience loneliness. However, another possible type of explanation for age trends in loneliness, methodological artefacts, should be mentioned.…”

“…Our expectation was that the effect of age on the loneliness in the present study supports the first model. This is because, as convincingly illustrated by Paiva et al (2009), given the very bad conditions in which some old people live in Portugal, multiple life domains satisfaction decreases, particularly financial resources and social relationships, as well as a decrease in overall satisfaction as function of age were found. Thus our expectation was that we would find a growth in loneliness in old age.…”

Loneliness, a complex phenomenon, is experienced differently by people under diverse conditions. The factors influencing loneliness are numerous and may vary between cultures. The purpose of this study was to show socio-demographic factors contributing to loneliness in Portugal. The sample consisted of 3,144 participants with a mean age of 46.90 (SD = 22.56) and a range between 15 and 92 years. Loneliness was evaluated with the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale (Russell, Peplau, & Cutrona, 1980). Age and marital status were significant predictors of loneliness. Loneliness increased with age, and divorced or windowed participants reported higher loneliness than single or married people. As expected, gender did not significantly contribute to loneliness. This work identified vulnerable people who are experiencing a perceived dissatisfaction with their social interactions that needs special attention. These vulnerable groups include the old, divorced and widowed. In particular, policy makers and other experts who work with old persons should promote interventions according to their needs.

“…In particular, previous research showed that specific life satisfaction domains and life satisfaction are linked (Neto & Fonseca, 2018;Ruiz Paiva et al, 2009). The results of the current study confirm this observation as life satisfaction and love life satisfaction were significantly correlated (r = .42).…”

The main goal of this investigation is to examine the psychometric characteristics of the Satisfaction with Love Life Scale (SWLLS) among Palestinian college students. This scale assesses a person’s global evaluation of love satisfaction. The factorial structure, the reliability, and validity of this measure were examined. The sample included 201 college students aged 18-26 years. Confirmatory factor analysis of the SWLLS confirmed a single underlying dimension among Palestinian college students. The SWLLS evidenced satisfactory psychometric properties, with good internal consistency. Furthermore, corroboration of validity was also evidenced by means of the relationships between SWLLS score, and love status, love styles and well-being constructs. As expected, students “in love now” declared more satisfaction with love life than those “not in love now”. Erotic, pragmatic, and agapic orientations correlated significantly with the SWLLS scores. There were also significant positive correlations between the scores of the SWLLS and life satisfaction, and self-esteem. Significant negative correlations were observed between the scores of the SWLLS and loneliness. The results showed that satisfaction with love life contributes significantly and in an unique way to loneliness and self-esteem, even after controlling for participants’ sex and age. The findings of the current study suggest that the Arabic version of the SWLLS makes up a brief psychometrically sound instrument to assess love life satisfaction.

“…The SWFLS scores correlated strongly with life satisfaction and family support, demonstrating the convergent validity of the scale. Past research has also shown strong relationships between life satisfaction and domains of life satisfaction (Ruiz et al, 2009). Higher levels of satisfaction with family relationships were associated with higher overall life satisfaction (Schimmack et al, 2002;Schnettler et al, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Family Life Scale (SWFLS) among Portuguese adolescents. This scale assesses a person's global evaluation of family satisfaction. The participants were 252 high school students from public schools in Lisbon, aged 15-19 years (M = 16.87; SD = 1.21). Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a one-factor model of the SWFLS among Portuguese adolescents. The SWFLS showed adequate psychometric properties, with good internal consistency. Subsequent analyses indicated that the SWFLS scores were related to a measure of family satisfaction, as well as wellbeing (life satisfaction, self-esteem) and current interpersonal functioning (social support and loneliness). These findings are interpreted as supporting the validity of the SWFLS. The findings of this research indicate that the Portuguese version of the SWFLS is a brief, psychometrically sound instrument to assess family life satisfaction.
