Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aimed to validate the Life Snapshot Inventory (LSI) as a self-report instrument to measure meaningful personal and social factors. This study involved 693 Jordanian participants (M = 29 years) in its sample. The LSI was compared with the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) to examine its convergent validity. The results demonstrated a high internal consistency (α = .92) of the LSI, with a correlation ranging between .74 and .87, both of which were statistically significant. Further, the factorial analysis identified only one factor (45.31% variance). Additionally, the results showed that both the DASS-21 and treatment options had an effect on the total scores of the LSI and the RSES. However, the results did not show any effects on the variables of gender, employment, and qualification. The examined questionnaire would be a helpful measure for use in healthcare, diagnosis, and clinical contexts in Jordanian society.
