Satisfaction with Life – Second Measurement

star
  • This scale was developed by Professor Ed Diener and his colleagues. The type of happiness this scale measures is not ephemeral mood; rather, it is a reflective assessment of how well your life is going, all (or at least most) things considered. Now that you've completed three of the exercises, find out if your happiness levels have improved since we last measured them.
