This study aims to predict the correlation between life satisfaction and self-efficacy and social support. The sample consists of 150 female teachers of high school in Qom who were selected by multisectional random sampling. All participants were studied by three tests of Diner life satisfaction, sharer selfefficacy, and Philips social support. The findings showed that there is a significant correlation between life satisfaction, self-efficacy, and social support. The correlation coefficients are respectively 0.361 and 0.469 (p<0.05). The results also indicate that life satisfaction can be predicted by subscales of social support, social support by family, friends, and others. Keywords: life satisfaction, self-efficacy, social support STATEMENT OF PROBLEMHappy experience and life satisfaction are the ultimate goal of people's purpose. Therefore, all people are trying to achieve it during their life (Haebner, 2000).Life satisfaction is one of the oldest and stable isuues in studies related to adults that is considered as general study of the current situation by comparing the person's willings to real access it (Bechtold, 2004).Ingelehart defines the concept of satisfaction as: life satisfaction reflects the balance between the personal wishes and his current condition. In other word, whatever the gap between the person's wishes and his current condition id high, his satisfaction would be reduced (Ingelhart, 1994 cited in Zaki, 2007.However life satisfaction depends on personal conditions, the social factors are so effective in increasing and reducing it. The society creates the conditions that can direct the people to achieve the personal wishes and goals, in other hand, it creates a space that the person can interact and communicate with those who provides peace, security, and confidence for an appropriate life. The general life satisfaction is composed of the personal and social conditions and in fact, it is a sign of positive attitudes toward the world and the environment where he lives in.

“…Para medir a satisfação com a vida, utlizou-se a versão portuguesa da Escala de Satisfação com a Vida (ESCV; Lent, Taveira, Sheu, & Singley, 2009;Neto, 1993). Essa escala é composta por cinco itens, destinados a avaliar os juízos cognitivos globais de satisfação com a vida do indivíduo (e.g., "Na maioria dos aspectos, a minha vida está perto do meu ideal").…”

“…Foi pedido aos indivíduos que indicassem o grau de acordo e desacordo com cada um dos cinco itens, usando a escala dotipo Likert de 7 pontos, em que 1 significa Discordo totalmente e 7 significa Concordo totalmente. A ESV apresentou evidência empírica de validade fatorial e consistência interna em diferentes contextos, nomeadamente Portugal (Lent et al, 2009;Neto 1993Neto , 2001Neto, Barros, & Barros, 1990;Simões 1992). Nesta amostra, o coeficiente alfa de Cronbach (α) foi de 83,1.…”

ResumoNuma perspectiva funcionalista, os valores são uma expressão cognitiva das necessidades humanas, princípios que orientam o comportamento para metas mais pessoais, sociais ou gerais de vida, cujo impacto psicossocial merece mais investigação. Neste estudo, analisou-se em que medida o tipo de orientação dos valores prediz a satisfação com a vida de 562 jovens portugueses (n = 303, 53,9% mulheres), com idades entre 14 e 22 anos (M = 16,9, DP = 1,71), que frequentam o ensino médio: via profissionalizante (63,7%) e regular (36,3% Valores como predictores de satisfacción con la vida en los jóvenesResumen Desde el punto de vista funcional, los valores son una expresión cognitiva de las necesidades humanas, principios que orientan el comportamiento hacia metas más personales, sociales o generales de vida, cuyo impacto psicosocial necesita más investigación. En este estudio se analizó en qué medida el tipo de orientación de los valores predice la satisfacción con la vida de 562 jóvenes portugueses (n = 303, 53.9% mujeres), con edades entre 14 y 22 años (M = 16.9, DP = 1.71) que frecuentan Enseñanza Secundaria: profesional (63.7%) y normal (36.3%). Los jóvenes completaron el Cuestionario de Valores Básicos y la Escala de Satisfacción con la Vida. Los resultados del análisis de regresión lineal indican que la orientación de los valores explica menos de una cuarta parte de la variabilidad de satisfacción con la vida, lo que plantea la necesidad de analizar su poder explicativo, junto con otras variables, por ejemplo, de personalidad y socio-cognitivas.
