Work stress has been implicated as an important health hazard for military personnel. In a study of 472 personnel who had not been exposed to any war [8], 26% reported to be suffering from significant work stress. Nearly one in five blamed work stress for causing significant emotional distress and one in ten reported work stress was severe enough to affect their emotional health. This was independent of the age, sex, education, years of military service and marital status. The job stressors reported by these personnel were not specific to military service but common to civilians, such as change in work responsibilities, work hours or type of work. We found higher stress in junior sailors and certain branches such as the domestic, provost and technical as compared to the executive branch. High levels of occupational stress have also been reported in the lower ranks in armed forces of United Kingdom [11]. In a three year study by the Royal Navy, the two main causes of stress were balancing work versus home life and discord in working relationships and that good supervisor support was very effective in managing stress [12]. 75.7% of the junior sailors were unsatisfied with their lives compared to 42.8% of the senior sailors and 31.8% of the officers. The findings were statistically significant. Persons with poor life satisfaction also reported higher occupational stress (Table 6). Thus occupational stress leads to lower life satisfaction.

The cognitive component has been more closely conceptualized with life satisfaction (Andrews & Withey, 1976), yet despite this, had not previously received much attention for research. Diener et al. (1985) sought to address this and through developing the SWLS, they created a strong tool in the measurement of the cognitive components they felt reflected a subjective sense of wellbeing and life satisfaction.
The SWLS is not designed to help you understand satisfaction in any one specific domain of life, such as your job or relationships; instead, it has been developed to help you get a sense of your satisfaction with your life as a whole.
The scoring for the SWLS works quite simply, by adding up the total of the numbers you score against each of the statements. So, remembering that 1 = strongly disagree and 7 = strongly agree, the higher your score, the higher your sense of life satisfaction as a whole.
Rather than there being one or two things that you feel would give you greater satisfaction, you might feel that small improvements across all domains of your life would lead to a higher sense of life satisfaction.
As you may have guessed, a score at the very low end of the scale means that you are extremely dissatisfied with your current life circumstances. Again, if this score is due to a recent hard blow in life, such as bereavement, then things may get better over time with the right support.
The SWLS is one of the most widely used measurements for life satisfaction. The shortness and ease of being able to administer the scale to achieve foundation results is key to this, but how reliable does that actually make it?
Further research has confirmed this reliability against other measures of life satisfaction (Pavot et al., 1991, Pavot & Diener, 2008) as well as other measures for happiness (Lyubomirsky & Lepper, 1999). It has also correlated well with scales measuring the meaning of life (Steger et al., 2006) and scales measuring hope (Bailey & Synder, 2007).
The only part of the scale that has been questioned in the research is the use of the fifth statement, as researchers believe it has a weaker association with life satisfaction and instead causes participants to reflect on the desire to change rather than their current sense of life satisfaction (Pavot & Diener, 1993).
As well as happiness and life satisfaction, Diener studied the factors that influence these two areas, including financial health, family upbringing, personality, relationships, and work. He studied these topics across 166 different nations and explored some of the cultural components behind individual happiness.
While the SWLS can offer you an indication of your life satisfaction on a more overall scale, there are other tools and resources that can help you to further explore your sense of satisfaction in specific domain areas of your life.
Once you have your scores for each of the 10 domains, you can reflect on where you have given the lowest scores, why these are low scores, and what you might be able to do to start making positive changes and improve your sense of life satisfaction. 2ff7e9595c
