This paper explores the relationship between a single-item scale on satisfaction with meaning in life (SML) and other well-being metrics, both eudaimonic and hedonic. A sample of N = 923 Spanish adolescents in secondary education was used for this purpose. Although we have theorized and explored this metric as a component of eudaimonic well-being, our results show that it is also very closely related to the cognitive and the affective components of hedonic well-being. Standardized regression weights using structural equation modelling (SEM) were used to show the strong correlation between the SML and all of the well-being instruments used in this study. This relationship was more pronounced with cognitive domain-based and positive affect latent variables than the eudaimonic well-being latent variable. Multi-group SEM analysis by gender and academic year reveals a definitive variation in the relationships between these variables for gender, whereas the variation by academic year remains unclear. The correlation between the SML and every other well-being instruments is stronger for girls in all cases. Although values decrease with age for all instruments, the relationships fluctuate and display no clear trend. This study contributes new evidence to discussions on the relationship between eudemonic and hedonic well-being.

本文探讨了对生活意义满意度（SML）的单项量表与其他幸福感指标（eudaimonic和hedonic）之间的关系。N的样本 = 923名西班牙中等教育青少年被用于此目的。尽管我们已经对这一指标进行了理论化和探索性研究，但它却是与快乐享乐的认知和情感成分密切相关的结果。使用结构方程模型（SEM）的标准化回归权重显示了SML与本研究中使用的所有康乐仪器之间的强相关性。这种关系在基于认知域和积极影响的潜在变量上比在eudaimonic幸福感潜在变量上更为明显。按性别和学年进行的多组SEM分析显示，这些性别变量之间的关系存在确定的变化，而按学年的变化尚不清楚。在所有情况下，女孩对SML和其他所有幸福工具的相关性都更强。尽管所有仪器的值均会随着年龄的增长而降低，但这种关系会波动并且不会显示出明显的趋势。这项研究为讨论幸福感和享乐幸福感之间的关系提供了新的证据。
