Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study that examined the factorial structure of Satisfaction with Life Scale – SWLS through confirmatory factor analysis and to analyze its psychometric properties in a 124 students sample from Land Forces Academy from Sibiu. The fit indices support the validity of the single factor structure of SWLS. The internal consistency of the SWLS was. 75. This scale can be considered a useful tool in measuring the level of life satisfaction in a military student environment.
