Background/Description
Evaluative well-being was captured from participants using a Cantril ladder scale. This measure of well-being, developed half a century ago by Princeton social researcher Hadley Cantril, asks participants to visualize a ladder with steps numbered from zero at the bottom (worst possible life) to 10 at the top (best possible life).
Administration, Scoring and Interpretation
To administer the Life Satisfaction Ladder Scale (SWLS), you can follow these steps:
- Introduce the scale. Explain to the participant that you are going to ask them some questions about their overall satisfaction with their life.
- Read the instructions aloud. The instructions are as follows:
“Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you, and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder do you feel you stand right now?” - Record the participant’s response. The participant can respond with any number from 0 to 10.
- Thank the participant for their participation.
