Five seven-point Likert-type items capture a global attitudinal assessment of one's life, with emphasis on the cognitive rather than affective dimension of well-being. Items tap into comparisons with an ideal life, perceived conditions, overall satisfaction, goal attainment, and counterfactual reflection. The scale is known as the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and has been widely used in consumer research as a measure of subjective well-being.
