Such knowledge of personality-based predictors of LS (global
and domain-specific) among youth appears to be important, as
LS is not an epiphenomenon but rather appears to play a causal
role with respect to a variety of important outcomes, such as peer
victimization, disengagement from schooling, decreased parental
support, and increased internalizing and externalizing behaviors
(see Huebner, Hills, Siddall, & Gilman, 2014, for a review).
Therefore, it seems helpful to identify the full range of determinants
of such cognitive evaluations related to life as a whole and
with specific life domains.
