Validity and reliability of a Five Dimensional Life Satisfaction Index.
Validity of the Five Dimensional Life Satisfaction Index (Hawkins, Eklund, Kim, & Greene, 1994), which was developed to measure life satisfaction as it applies to adults with mental retardation, was examined. The index was administered to 48 adults with moderate mental retardation. Results showed (a) alternate forms reliability and internal consistency, (b) convergent and discriminant validity, and (c) construct validity.
