dc.description.abstractMeasuring the cognitive aspect of well-being is significant in today’s world due to its link with mental health. The current study examined the factorial structure, psychometric properties and concurrent validity of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) within the Nigeria socio-cultural setting. At the initial phase of the study, 109 participants working in a government-owned University in Oyo State, Nigeria, completed the five-item SWLS and their information was analysed utilising confirmatory factor analysis. One hundred and ten participants from a privately-owned university in Osun State, Nigeria, were used to validate the instrument with a similar measure concurrently: the six-item Riverside Life Satisfaction Scale (RLSS) at the second phase. The SWLS possess a satisfactory reliability (Omega (ωt) = .84). The model fit indicators observed after exposing the SWLS to confirmatory factory analysis revealed moderately suitable fitness and acceptable item loading for a single factor scale. A statistically significant Pearson’s (r) of = 0.79, p<.01 was observed between SWLS and RLSS. The SWLS possess acceptable psychometric properties. It is valuable for investigating life satisfaction within Nigeria's sociocultural contexts.
