• Gratitude and Adolescent Athletes’ Well-Being (2008, methodology): “The original English scale has been widely used in a variety of research (e.g., Hart et al. 2007; Llewellyn et al. (2008); McAlinden and Oei 2006; Oishi 2006 ).”
• The Satisfaction With Life Scale and the emerging construct of life satisfaction (2008, methodology): “The accumulating evidence, from factor analysis and more sophisticated methodology (e.g., Oishi, 2006; further discussed in a later section) indicate that the fifth item of the SWLS is somewhat distinct from the other four items of the scale.”
• Measuring Adolescent Life Satisfaction (2016, methodology): “The psychometric properties of the SWLS have been evaluated in numerous studies (e.g., Lucas et al., 1996; Oishi, 2006) and different national settings (e.g., Arrindell, Heesink, & Feij, 1999; Atienza, Balaguer, & Garcı́a-Merita, 2003; Glaesmer, Grande, Braehler, & Roth, 2011).”
• Advances and Open Questions in the Science of Subjective Well-Being (2018, unknown): “…very similarly between Chinese and Americans, whereas the items that assess the attainment of goals (“So far I have gotten the important things I want in my life”) and affirmation of one’s life (“If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing”) showed a large difference (Oishi, 2006).”
• Testing Measurement Invariance: A Comparison of Multiple-Group Categorical CFA and IRT (2011, methodology): “…research studies exploring the relationship between CFA and IRT have reported the discrepancies between the two approaches in detecting the lack of invariance with ordered-categorical variables (Meade & Lautenschlager, 2004; Oishi, 2006; Raju, Laffitte, & Byrne, 2002; Reise, Widaman, & Pugh, 1993).”
• The German version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS): Psychometric properties, validity, and population-based norms. (2011, methodology): “The psychometric properties of the SWLS have been tested in numerous studies (e.g., Diener et al., 1985; Lewis, Bunting, Shevlin, & Joseph, 1995; Lucas, Diener, & Suh, 1996; Oishi, 2006).”
• A note on the score reliability for the Satisfaction With Life Scale: an RG study (2007, background): “*Oishi, S. (2006). The concept of life satisfaction across cultures: An IRT analysis.”
• Cross-National Adolescent Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Reports: Analyses of Mean Scores and Response Style Differences (2008, background): “Such concerns have been noted in cross-national studies in general (van de Vijver and Leung, 2000) and life satisfaction studies in particular (Oishi, 2006).”
• Measurement Invariance of the Satisfaction With Life Scale Across 26 Countries (2017, background): “Similarly, Oishi (2006) examined measurement invariance of SWLS between students from the United States and Chinese, using multigroup structural equation modeling, multiple indicators multiple causes, and item response theory techniques.”
• Theory and Validity of Life Satisfaction Scales (2013, background): “A similar correction applied by Oishi (2006) in a comparison of Chinese and American respondents did not lead to different conclusions.”
• Psychometric Evaluation of the Malay Satisfaction With Life Scale (2009, background): “Indeed, local versions having been developed and used in many different national settings (Oishi 2006), including Brazil (Gouveia et al. in press), Canada (Blais et al. 1989), China (Ye 2007), the Czech Republic (Lewis et al. 1999), Hong Kong (Sachs 2004), the Netherlands (Arrindell et al. 1999),…”
