Life satisfaction judgments are thought to reflect people's overall evaluation of the quality of their lives as a whole. Because the circumstances of these lives typically do not change very quickly, life satisfaction judgments should be relatively stable over time. However, some evidence suggests that these judgments can be easily manipulated, which leads to low stability even over very short intervals. The current study uses a unique data set that includes multiple assessments of life satisfaction over both long (up to 4 years) and short (over the course of a single interview) intervals to assess whether information that is made salient during the course of an interview affects life satisfaction judgments at the end of the interview. Results suggest that this intervening information has only small effects on the final judgment and that placement within an interview has little influence on the judgment that people provide.

生活满意度的判断被认为反映了人们对其生活整体质量的总体评价。由于这些生活的环境通常不会很快改变，因此生活满意度的判断应该随着时间的推移相对稳定。然而，一些证据表明，这些判断很容易受到影响，即使在非常短的时间内也会导致稳定性降低。本研究使用了一个独特的数据集，其中包括对生活满意度的多次评估，这些评估时间跨度从长（长达 4 年）到短（在一次访谈过程中）。研究评估了在访谈过程中突出显示的信息是否会影响访谈结束时的生活满意度判断。结果表明，这些干预信息对最终判断的影响很小，而且访谈中的位置对人们提供的判断几乎没有影响。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2018 APA，保留所有权利）。
