“…Our findings support the premise of a reciprocal effect between school and life satisfaction. We are not aware of other studies demonstrating this reciprocal effect, but this line of inquiry deserves to be further addressed, as far is consistent with prior studies in adults, reporting reciprocal effects among domain and overall life satisfaction (e.g., Headey et al, 2005 ; Bowling et al, 2010 ; Chen et al, 2018 ; Bialowolski and Weziak-Bialowolska, 2020 ). If a reciprocal effect model is correct, using bottom-up or top-down models for analyzing the relationship between life satisfaction and domain satisfaction in children and adolescents is misguided.…”

“…Nevertheless, since Diener ( 1984 ) introduced the distinction between bottom-up and top-down models, cumulative evidence suggests that, for some life domains, the relationship between domain-specific satisfaction and overall life satisfaction could be bidirectional. For instance, reciprocal effects have been reported between life satisfaction and marriage satisfaction (Headey et al, 2005 ), team satisfaction (Chen et al, 2018 ), or job satisfaction (Bowling et al, 2010 ; Bialowolski and Weziak-Bialowolska, 2020 ), among others.…”

“…Take, for instance, the well-documented reciprocal relationship between job satisfaction and life satisfaction (Bowling et al, 2010 ; Bialowolski and Weziak-Bialowolska, 2020 ). Early adolescents' school experience bears certain similarities to adults' work experience: it is a place where they spend many hours a week, and both are a source of social relationships and a sense of belonging, in addition to satisfying needs for relatedness, autonomy, and competence.…”

Cumulative evidence suggests that, for children and adolescents, peer relatedness is an essential component of their overall sense of belonging, and correlates with subjective well-being and school-based well-being. However, it remains unclear what the underlying mechanism explaining these relationships is. Therefore, this study examines whether there is a reciprocal effect between school satisfaction and overall life satisfaction (Hypothesis 1), and whether the effect of peer relatedness on life satisfaction is mediated by school satisfaction (Hypothesis 2). A non-recursive model with instrumental variables was tested with econometric and structural equation modeling methodologies, using a cross-sectional sample of n = 5,619 Chilean early adolescents (49.2% girls), aged 10, 11, and 12 (46.13, 44.99, and 8.88% respectively). Results were highly consistent across methods and supported the hypotheses. First, the findings confirmed a significant reciprocal influence between school satisfaction and overall life satisfaction, with a greater impact from school to life satisfaction. Second, the effect of peer relatedness on overall life satisfaction was fully mediated by school satisfaction. The study further suggests the importance of considering reciprocal effects among domain-specific satisfaction and overall life satisfaction and illustrates the application of non-recursive models for this purpose.

“…Although such panel and survey data are not designed to record detailed information on all everyday activities, they do provide valuable time-series data that can be analysed quantitatively to reveal social and economic patterns and trends over time. Pearson (2016) provides an overview of these projects and they have generated many research papers (for instance, Berrington, 2020;Bialowolski & Weziak-Bialowolska, Bialowolski and Weziak-Bialowolska, 2021;Longhi, 2020;Matei et al, 2018). Similar longitudinal data and publications exist in a number of other countries (Baxter et al, 2008;Rees & Sabia, 2010;Tsai, 2010;Van Beijsterveldt et al, 2013).…”

For most of the time everyday life is composed of a variety of mundane activities that go almost unnoticed and unrecorded. Many of these will follow a regular rhythm or routine that may vary over the life course as personal and family circumstances change. They may also change over a weekly or seasonal cycle. Although individually such activities could be viewed as trivial, collectively these routines and rhythms construct the fabric of all societies, economies and communities. Studying everyday life in the past is hard because few sources record mundane activities in their entirety or over a whole life span. In this paper the diaries of one woman who lived in north Lancashire (UK) from 1928 to 2018 are analysed to chart the changing rhythms and routines of everyday activities over her life course. She began writing a diary at the age of 13 and completed a detailed daily account of her activities every year until shortly before her death. By sampling the extensive run of diaries, I identify the ways in which her activities changed over her life course, and how they fluctuated over weekly and seasonal cycles. I identify seven key life-course stages during which her commitments to employment, housework, caring and leisure activities varied in response to her changing circumstances. The paper uses both quantitative and qualitative evidence from the diaries to illustrate a rarely seen aspect of change over the life course, and relates this evidence to theories of everyday life, including Lefebvre's work on 'rhythmanalysis'.

“…Results from old and new studies indicate that job satisfaction and life satisfaction are moderately correlated (Keser et al, 2019;Lambert et al, 2018;Udayar et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020). Some studies extend findings from associations to a reciprocal predictive relationship between the two (Alghamdi, 2015;Bialowolski & Weziak-Bialowolska, 2020;Chen et al, 2017;Judge & Watanabe, 1993;Saari & Judge, 2004;Unanue et al, 2017) in validation of spillover, compensation and segmentation hypotheses (Judge & Watanabe, 1994). It is not surprising that life satisfaction is strongly related to job satisfaction when one considers life satisfaction's predictive effects on job performance (Jones, 2006) and its negative association with job stress (Lambert et al, 2018;Udayar et al, 2020).…”

Validity of Single-item Versus Multiple-item Job Satisfaction Measures in Predicting Life: Satisfaction and Turnover Intention

The use of single-item (SI) measures to operationalise a construct has endured extensive methodological critique, and its practical advantages over multiple-item (MI) measures pale in comparisons to the theoretical advantages of MI measures. Among constructs that have been operationalised with a single item, job satisfaction remains one of the favourites, although empirical knowledge about its validity is limited to data derived from management, marketing and human resources fields. Little is known about its validity among human service professionals. Using two cross-sectional surveys, the present article describes validity of SI versus MI measures of job satisfaction in predicting life satisfaction and turnover intention among social workers across organisations and professional specialisations, including supervisors, managers and administrators. Results in both studies suggested that SI measure of job satisfaction was methodologically and analytically suitable for examining job-related outcomes. It established convergent validity with MI job satisfaction measures and discriminant validity with job dissatisfaction measures. It demonstrated comparable demographic outcomes, association and predictive relationship with life satisfaction and turnover intention in the same magnitude as MI job satisfaction. It accounted for comparable variance in life satisfaction and turnover intention and generated bivariate, multivariate and mediation model outcomes that are systematically similar to those of MI job satisfaction measures. The article stipulates conditions for the use of SI job satisfaction measures, offers suggestions about how to resolve methodological impasse in choosing between SI and MI measures, and concludes with recommendations that include criteria for choosing between SI and MI measures for research.
