After their consent informed, the questionnaires were completed. Reliability was determined via internal consistency using item-total correlation; cronbach's alpha and split-half. Construct validity was determined through known-groups approach; the samples were divided into 5 groups depend on their answers to the total life satisfaction status question, and then life satisfaction index-z scores were compared among 5 groups. The data were analyzed using pearson correlation coefficient, unequal spearman brown, Guttman, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and one-way ANOVA.

Results:

LSI-Z scores were significantly different among the 5 known- groups (p=0/0001, f = 121/66); so the known-groups approach revealed that this tool is valid.
