Life Satisfaction

The Ladder of Life Scale [40] was used to measure life satisfaction. This scale asks participants to:

"Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered from zero at the bottom to ten at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?"

Reliability and validity for this scale have been reported as adequate [41].
