Perceived emotional intelligence and life satisfaction : Predictive and incremental validity using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (2005, background): “Both English and Spanish versions have shown evidence for discriminant validity and appropriate internal consistency (Diener et al., 1985; Atienza, Balaguer, & Garcia-Merita, 2003 ).”
The Psychometric Evaluation of the Satisfaction with Life Scale Using a Nationally Representative Sample of China (2011, methodology): “In addition to basic reliability and validity analyses, the measurement invariance of the SWLS has also been examined across gender (Atienza et al. 2003; Shevlin et al. 1998; Wu and Yao 2006), age (Daniel and Petter 2008; Pons et al.”
The relationship of religious coping and spirituality to adjustment and psychological distress in urban early adolescents (2009, result): “This finding is relatively inconsistent with previous literature on adults and adolescents that has reported either higher life satisfaction for males than for females (Atienza, Balaguer, & Garcia-Merita, 2003 ; Neto, 1993 ) or no gender differences (Diener, 1984 ).”

Perceived emotional intelligence and dispositional optimism–pessimism: Analyzing their role in predicting psychological adjustment among adolescents (2007, background): “Both English and Spanish versions have shown evidence for discriminant validity and appropriate internal consistency (Atienza et al., 2003; Diener et al., 1985).”
Analysis of factorial invariance across gender in the Taiwan version of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (2006, background): “However, in a sample of Spanish junior high school students, factorial invariance of the SWLS (Spanish version) was not obtained (Atienza et al., 2003).”
Testing for Measurement Invariance in the Satisfaction with Life Scale: A Comparison of Russians and North Americans (2006, background): “…has been found to represent a single factor (e.g., Diener et al., 1985; Arrindell et al., 1991, 1999; Pavot et al., 1991; Shevlin and Bunting, 1994; Atienza et al., 2003) and to demonstrate adequate internal consistency (Cronbach’s a‘s ranging from 0.79 to 0.89) and stability across time (r’s of…”
Measuring Adolescent Life Satisfaction (2016, background): “Reliability of the SWLS has been reported to range between .79 and .89, and almost all studies support a single dimensional structure (e.g., Atienza et al., 2003; Diener et al., 1985; Oishi, 2006).”
Perceived Emotional Intelligence, Self-Esteem and Life Satisfaction in Adolescents (2011, background): “Both English and Spanish versions have shown evidence for discriminant validity and appropriate internal consistency (Diener et al., 1985; Atienza et al., 2003).”
