Abstract:
This research aims to analyze the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), examining the reliability of scale scores and providing validity evidence for its use with breast cancer patients. We provide validity evidence based on internal structure and on relationships with positive psychological variables and other variables indicative of psychological adjustment. Validity evidence was provided by a positive correlation between SWLS scores and positive affect, self-esteem, resilience, emotional intelligence, flourishing, and optimism, and by a negative correlation with negative affect, pessimism, depression, anxiety, and stress. The new version of the SWLS showed satisfactory psychometric properties and it is an appropriate measure for use in the breast cancer context.
