• Theory and Validity of Life Satisfaction Scales (2013, background): “Factor analyses of multi-item life satisfaction scales usually reveal essentially a single underlying dimension (Diener et al. 1985; Slocum-Gori et al. 2009).”
• Assessing the Unidimensionality of Psychological Scales: Using Multiple Criteria from Factor Analysis (2011, background): “Slocum-Gori et al. (2009) recently made the case that that measures used in quality of life and happiness research are essentially unidimensional: inherently tapping minor dimensions.”
