CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this assessment measure?

It measures subjective well-being, including life satisfaction and emotional comfort. It also reflects how self-perception, daily activities, and social involvement relate to overall well-being.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

Completion typically takes about 7 minutes. The assessment includes 34 items.

How should responses be selected?

Each item is rated using the response options provided for that scale. Select the option that best reflects current experience rather than an ideal or expected answer.

What do the results indicate?

Results summarize overall well-being and show which domains contribute most or least to inner comfort. They support discussion and planning but do not provide a clinical diagnosis by themselves.

It may be repeated to monitor change over time or after an intervention. Re-testing is most useful when the same conditions are used and enough time has passed for meaningful change.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Subjective Well-Being Assessment Test

well-being

This measure is designed to support a structured appraisal of perceived life satisfaction and emotional experience. The Subjective Well-Being Assessment is used in clinical and applied settings to summarize an individual’s self-reported well-being across multiple life domains.

The instrument reflects the view that subjective well-being is multidimensional rather than limited to transient mood states, with item content broadly covering self-evaluation, affective experience, engagement in meaningful activity, balance between action and reflection, and perceived social connectedness. It consists of 34 items and typically requires about 7 minutes to complete; respondents rate their experiences across several scales to yield a profile of overall well-being and relative strengths or concerns by domain.

Interpretation of the Subjective Well-Being Assessment may help guide case conceptualization, identify potential targets for intervention or supportive services, and facilitate clinical discussion when monitored over time. Authors are Ed Diener and Carol D. Ryff.
