Abstract

College students’ life satisfaction could influence college students’ learning state and human values, and a reasonable evaluation of college students’ life satisfaction could help the authorities improve their work efficiency. This paper studies the life satisfaction of college students based on the structural equation model with satisfaction theory. First of all, an indication system is constructed through foreign and domestic literature investigation on life satisfaction, and then a structural equation model is established to evaluate college students’ life satisfaction based on the above work. Secondly, a questionnaire is designed and issued to collect the practical data. Finally, the data is processed and analyzed by using AMOS and SPSS software, and the relationship among indicators of life satisfaction is acquired. The method in this paper lets the indicators that cannot be estimated directly be measured, thus reduces the subjectivity of evaluation and makes the evaluation result more accurate.
