We believe that summary measures of subjective quality of life (SQOL), by definition, can serve as the gold standard for what we will term insider perspective validity. An example is Andrews and Withey’s (1976) Delighted-Terrible (D-T) Scale, which asks respondents to provide ratings on a seven-point scale ranging from being delighted with life in general to viewing it as terrible. The Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener, 1984; Pavot, Diener, Colvin, &Sandvik, 1991) is a second example. The suggestion that SQOL measures of this type summarize the valuations the person places on the elements in his/her life that he/she deems important is drawn from the model of SQOL developed by Flanagan (1978, 1982) and also by Ferrans and Powers (1985), who define the individual’s evaluation of important life elements as underlying SQOL.
