摘要：
This article introduces the Satisfaction With Migration Life Scale (SWMLS) which was devised to evaluate a person's global judgment of migration satisfaction, and reports data from two studies establishing its reliability and validity. Data were collected from Portuguese migrants living in Switzerland via paper-pencil and online questionnaires. The results from the two studies showed that the SWMLS has favorable psychometric characteristics. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the SWMLS resulted in a unidimensional factor structure. Cronbach's alpha was excellent. Evidence of validity was also found between scores on the SWMLS and other indicators of well-being and acculturation. The findings suggested a brief and viable tool to assess satisfaction with migration life. Potential uses of the scale for research are discussed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
