| Abstract: | The purpose of the present study was to meta-analytically investigate the score reliability for the Satisfaction With Life
Scale. Four-hundred and sixteen articles using the measure were located through electronic database searches and then separated
to identify studies which had calculated reliability estimates from their own data. Sixty-two articles met this criterion,
providing 76 reliability coefficients. The articles comprising the sample were next coded to identify potential sample or
test characteristics that might affect the variation in reliability estimates. Results indicate that score standard deviation,
mean, percent female, US samples, English test version, and youth samples demonstrated significant relationships with score
reliability. Results from this study provide useful information, in terms of scale performance, for researchers interested
in using the measure for future academic endeavors.
