PROMIS General Life Satisfaction

PROMIS. "Life Satisfaction" scoring manual.

Key findings used in wiki

  • PROMIS treats general life satisfaction as its own construct with standardized T-score interpretation.
  • Higher T-scores mean more overall satisfaction with life at present. Items cover global evaluation of circumstances, not specific domains.
  • Life satisfaction is measured separately from meaning and purpose, from companionship, and from specific domain wellbeing, because a person can be broadly satisfied while lacking meaning, or deeply connected while rating their overall life low.
  • In GiveCare's methodology pages, this supports the argument that positive capacity is plural rather than singular — caregiver wellbeing is not one number, and the CWBS-14 anchor benefits from being read alongside distinct positive-capacity constructs, not collapsed with them.
