SWLS(Satisfaction With Life Scale)는 국내외에서 가장 많이 사용되는 삶의 만족도의 측정도구이다. 본 연구는 연령과 성별이 다른 집단에서 SWLS의 요인구조와 측정동일성을 검토했다. 성인 초기 대학생 433명(남자 195명, 여자 238명)과 중년기 성인 503명(남자 237명, 여자 266명)으로 구성된 총 936명의 자료를 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 확인적 요인분석을 사용하여 SWLS의 요인 구조를 검토했을 때, 4번과 5번 문항간 잔차를 허용한 수정된 단일요인모형이 지지되었다. 따라서 SWLS는 한국에서도 과거 시점을 반영하는 4번과 5번 문항이 다른 문항들과 구별되는 속성을 공유하는 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, SWLS는 남성과 여성 집단 간에 형태, 요인부하량, 절편, 오차변량의 동일성이 모두 지지되었다. 그러나 대학생과 중년의 성인 집단 간에는 부분측정동일성만이 지지되었다. 이러한 결과는 SWLS 척도를 사용하여 한국인의 연령 및 성별 삶의 만족도를 비교하는 것이 가능하지만, 연령차를 해석할 때에는 보다 세심한 주의를 기울일 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
