Youth life satisfaction is a component of subjective well-being, an important part of a strengths-based approach to treatment. This study establishes the psychometric properties of the Brief Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale-PTPB Version (BMSLSS-PTPB). The BMSLSS-PTPB showed evidence of construct validity with significant correlations as expected to measures of youth hope and youth symptom severity, and no relationship as expected to youth treatment outcome expectations. A longitudinal analysis was conducted examining the relationship between youth-reported life satisfaction and mental health symptom severity (youth-, caregiver-, and clinician-report) for 334 youth (aged 11-18 years) receiving in-home treatment. Results indicated that life satisfaction consistently increased over the course of treatment but increased faster in youth whose symptom severity, as rated by all reporters, decreased over the course of treatment. Implications, future directions, and limitations of the study are discussed.
青少年生活满意度是主观幸福感的一个组成部分，也是以优势为基础的治疗方法的重要组成部分。本研究确立了简明多维学生生活满意度量表-计划行为理论版（BMSLSS-PTPB）的心理测量特性。BMSLSS-PTPB 表现出与青少年希望和青少年症状严重程度的预期测量具有显著相关性的结构有效性的证据，并且与青少年治疗结果预期的预期测量没有关系。对 334 名接受家庭治疗的青少年（年龄 11-18 岁）进行了一项纵向分析，研究了青少年报告的生活满意度与心理健康症状严重程度（青少年、照顾者和临床医生报告）之间的关系。结果表明，生活满意度在治疗过程中持续增加，但在所有报告者评定的症状严重程度在治疗过程中下降的青少年中增加得更快。讨论了研究的意义、未来方向和局限性。
