Life Satisfaction in the Third Age Scale-Short Form (LSITA-SF) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is used to assess perceived life satisfaction in later adulthood. The Life Satisfaction in the Third Age Scale-Short Form (LSITA-SF) provides a brief self-report screening of satisfaction with one’s current life circumstances and overall well-being.
It consists of 12 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items are intended to capture subjective appraisal of life in older age, supporting clinical intake, monitoring over time, and research applications; results should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information and relevant cultural and contextual factors. The Life Satisfaction in the Third Age Scale-Short Form (LSITA-SF) was developed by M. Powell Lawton.
