Ten domains of life satisfaction were developed for military wives based on a factor analysis of 44 items derived from various studies of quality of life. Factor scores were computed for each domain, and multiple regressions were performed with the domains of satisfaction as the independent variables. Two dependent variables were used--namely--a measure of general well-being and overall satisfaction with life. The most important component of both general well-being and life satisfaction was a factor dealing with marriage, health, and family life. Factors related to domains of satisfaction with military life also explained significant amounts of variance in both dependent variables.
