Cross - cultural differences in the perveived levels and correlates of life satisfaction were investigated with 472 korean and 543 U. S. adolescents. Korean adolescents reported lower global life satisfaction than U. S. adolescents, as well as lower satisfaction with family, friends, school, self and living environment. Although satisfaction with family, self and living environment contributed significant and unique variance to the global life satisfaction of adolescents in both cultures, satisfaction with school contributed significantly to global life satisfaction only for korean adolescents. Level of satisfaction with self was a stronger correlate of global life satisfaction for U. S. adolescents than it was for korean adolescents. The findings are discussed in terms of individualistic versus collectivistic culture frameworks within the value as moderator model of subjective well - being. Implications for future research and culturally sensitive well - being interventions are also presented.
