Journal of Intellectual and Developmental Disability, v21 n1 p3-15 Mar 1996

The Lifestyle Satisfaction Scale (LSS) has been found among American samples to be influenced by types of accommodation (representing variations in level of lifestyle restriction). This study of 46 adults with mental retardation in Australia supported the discriminate validity of the LSS, and identified ways in which location and other factors influenced satisfaction.
