Psychosocial Life Satisfaction Scale (PLSS)

 

 

 

The PLSS is a theory-driven instrument grounded in the psychosocial health model, developed to assess an individual’s life satisfaction through the lens of core psychosocial domains. Specifically, the scale evaluates satisfaction within five integral dimensions: sexual, emotional, social, moral, and religious. These domains are recognized as pivotal to the human experience, especially in sociocultural contexts where identity, belonging, and meaning are shaped by interpersonal, ethical, and spiritual frameworks. Unlike traditional life satisfaction measures that often prioritize hedonic indicators, the PLSS adopts a more comprehensive and culturally sensitive approach. By focusing on domains that reflect deeply internalized values and relational experiences, it offers a robust framework for understanding subjective wellbeing in relation to psychosocial functioning. The inclusion of moral and religious satisfaction particularly enhances its relevance in collectivist and honor-based societies, where ethical alignment and spiritual congruity significantly inform life meaning and overall satisfaction. The PLSS serves as a valuable resource for clinicians, counselors, and researchers aiming to capture the multidimensional essence of life satisfaction within psychosocial contexts. It allows for more targeted diagnostics, interventions, and outcome assessments by highlighting specific areas of fulfillment or dissonance. As such, the scale contributes meaningfully to contemporary efforts in redefining life satisfaction not merely as the presence of pleasure or absence of distress, but as the harmonious integration of psychosocial dimensions that underpin holistic human wellbeing.
