A first study of the multidimensional students' life satisfaction scale with adolescents

The psychometric properties of the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfac tion Scale (MSLSS: Huebner, 1994) were assessed with a sample of adolescent s from grades 9-12. Results of confirmatory factor analyses supported the h ypothesized factor structure. Further, evidence for the convergent and disc riminant validity of the instrument was obtained. Acceptable internal consi stency estimates for the Total and domain scores were also obtained. These psychometric properties were similar to findings of the MSLSS with younger children. Limitations and future research considerations were discussed.
