In recent years, interest in satisfaction with love life (SWLL) has increased. Empirical evidence demonstrated that SWLL favors subjective well-being, physical and mental health, marital quality and stability. In this regard, the study aimed to examine evidence based on the internal structure validity, reliability, and measurement invariance of the Peruvian version of the Satisfaction with Love Life Scale (SWLLS). The participants were 323 older adults recruited from the region of San Martin (Peru) with an average age of 68.73 years (SD = 7.17). The sample comprised of 49.5% women and 50.5% men. The results supported the one-dimensional model and adequate reliability of the SWLLS. A multi-group analysis provided evidence of configural, metric, and scale invariance across genders. The findings verified the validity and reliability of the Peruvian version of the SWLLS, which can be used to measure SWLL. / Universidad del Norte

This study aimed to examine the relationship between romantic self-concept (self-concept in the realm of love) and satisfaction in one’s love life. Drawing from a population of mainly college students, overall self-concept was measured using the “Six-Factor Self-Concept Scale for Adults” (Stake, 1994). Additionally, the assessment was augmented by incorporating several more curated questions specifically designed to measure one’s romantic self-concept. Moreover, their satisfaction in love life was measured using Neto’s (2005) “Satisfaction with Love Life Scale”. Lastly “The Relationship Assessment Scale” (Hendrick, 1988) was used to measure couple satisfaction for those who were not single. The guiding hypothesis proposed that those with a higher (more positive) romantic self-concept will experience greater satisfaction levels within their love lives. This research highlights the intricate dynamics and influences shaping the link between individuals' self-perceptions and their experiences in romance.
