Measurement of Quality of Life III. From the IQOL Theory to the Global, Generic SEQOL Questionnaire by Soren Ventegodt, Joav Merrick, Niels Jorgen Andersen

“…It consists of eight different quality-of-life concepts, ranging from the superficially subjective via the deeply existential to the superficially objective (well being, satisfaction with life, happiness, meaning in life, biological order, realizing life potential, fulfillment of needs, and objective factors [ability of functioning and fulfilling societal norms]).This paper presents the work underlying the formulation of the theories of a good life and how these theories came to be expressed in a comprehensive, multidimensional, generic questionnaire for the evaluation of the global quality of life � SEQOL (self-evaluation of quality of life) � presented in full length in this paper. …”
