  • Political Trust Influences the Relationship Between Income and Life Satisfaction in Europe

    Open AccessJocelyne Clench‐Aas, Jocelyne Clench-Aas et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2021

    Background: A high level of well-being is associated with personal, community and national income, as well as personal, social and political trust. How these measures relate to each other within and between countries and within and across structural levels of society is largely unknown. To study this, we propose a three-layer nested socio-structural model. Each layer (individual, community, country) contains a measure of income, trust and satisfa…

  • Mental distress among young adults – gender differences in the role of social support

    Open AccessRune Johansen, Mari Nicholls Espetvedt et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Social support appears to have a stronger role as a protective factor for mental distress among young women, compared to young men and older persons. This has implications for health promoting activities that target young women. Sense of coherence showed a strong association with low mental distress scores for all ages studied

  • Measures that increase social equality are effective in improving life satisfaction in times of economic crisis

    Open AccessJocelyne Clench‐Aas, Arne HolteARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    The financial crisis stimulated the use of welfare generosity in Europe and strengthened the positive relationship between welfare generosity and LS. Social inequality, unemployment and welfare generosity played significant mediator roles between the crisis and LS, with increased welfare generosity far more strongly associated with increased LS. Measures that increase social equality in a country and thereby increase equal opportunity for all soc…

    Open AccessIngeborg Flåten Backe, Grete Grindal Patil et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2017

    The aim of this study was to examine associations between selected physical functional limitations related to performing daily activities and psychological distress. We also aimed to investigate if these associations vary across age (moderation), and to explore pain, sense of mastery and social support as potential moderators and mediators. The study was based on pooled data from two rounds (2008 and 2012) of a Norwegian nationally representative…

  • Dimensionality and measurement invariance in the Satisfaction with Life Scale in Norway

    Open AccessJocelyne Clench‐Aas, Jocelyne Clench-Aas et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2011

    In conclusion, the results in this Norwegian study seem to confirm that a unidimensional structure is acceptable, but that a modified single-factor model with correlations between error terms of items 4 and 5 is preferred. Additionally, comparisons may be made between the genders. Caution must be exerted when comparing age groups

Psychometric evaluations of the instrument have shown satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, while factor analysis studies have shown mixed results across countries. In the present study, the construct validity of the five‐factor SDQ is evaluated in a large community sample of Norwegian pre‐, earl…
