The Life Satisfaction Scale for Apostolic Women Religious
(LSSAWR) is a well-established instrument with demonstrated
psychometrics properties. This study examined the individual
item-level ratings averaged across generational cohorts within
an international sample of Roman Catholic Sisters. The purpose
was to identify areas of potential differences in overall life
satisfaction and/or in specific areas. In general, the results indicated a
tendency of lower levels of satisfaction as the generational cohort
became younger. Interestingly, some noteworthy exceptions were observed
and are highlighted within the article. The results are informative for
women religious congregations, who seek transformation and
a vivacious future.
