Abstract: | The study examines the test-retest reliability of a standard self-reported life satisfaction measure and of affect measures collected from a diary method. The study was made using a sample of 229 working women. The test-retest reliability of the DRM is evaluated by having the same respondents complete a DRM questionnaire two weeks apart regarding the same day of the week. The findings reveal that life satisfaction is found to correlate much more strongly with income than does net affect. Components of affect that are more person-specific are found to have higher test–retest reliability than components of affect that are more specific to the particular situation. |
