    This scale assesses wellbeing through measuring contentment and fulfillment, along with the self-discrepancies individuals feel towards their life. It is a brief 5-item survey with responses  on a 7-point scale. Appropriate for anyone, it requires only a citation for use. Test reliability can be found in Lavallee et al. (2007).
