To Study Reliability and Validity for Brief Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS)

The present research was aimed to investigate the reliability and validity for Brief  Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS) in Iranian students. All the high school girls and boys in 8th and 15th Tehran regions were selected as statistical population from which 736 students were selected as a sample to study, by using cluster sampling method. Brief  Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS), Personal Well-Being Index (PWI-SC), and 21–item version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress scales (DASS-21)   were administered and following results were obtained. An  Alpha coefficient of  0/71 obtained for the total scale, and the test–retest correlation of  0/71 was obtained which indicated a suitable reliability for the scale. Exploratory factorial analysis for the scale showed one factor loading, and correlation coefficients obtained, suggested acceptable convergent validity for Brief  Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS) with Personal Well-Being Index (PWI-SC), and with depression and anxiety scales of 21–item version of the Depression Anxiety and Stress scales (DASS-21). Overally, Brief  Multidimensional Students Life Satisfaction Scale (BMSLSS) has good psychometric properties with respect to methodological limitation of present study, to be used for high school Iranian students.
