The value of standardized scales for determining life satisfaction among older adults is being questioned, but use of the scales continues. The Life Satisfaction Index-Form A (LSIA) in its many variations continues to be among the most widely used scales for this purpose. In a comparison of two scoring methods (36-point vs. 18-point) for the LSIA, the lack of a significant difference indicated that a 36-point scale is not necessary. Caution in the use and interpretation of the variances between the two scoring methods is suggested.
用于确定老年人生活满意度的标准化量表的价值正受到质疑,但这些量表仍在继续使用。多种变体形式的《生活满意度指数A表》(LSIA)仍是为此目的使用最广泛的量表之一。在对LSIA的两种计分方法(36分制与18分制)进行比较时,未发现显著差异,这表明36分制并非必要。建议在使用和解释这两种计分方法之间的差异时要谨慎。
