The authors examined the influence of temporarily and chronically accessible information on life satisfaction judgments. Meta-analyses revealed high retest-reliability of life satisfaction judgments and weak effects of the item order of domain and global satisfaction judgments. Study I (N = 225) failed to replicate a widely cited finding of strong item-order effects. In Studies 2 (N = 100)7 3 (N = 200). and 4 (N = 222), chronically accessible information was a strong predictor of life satisfaction judgments. whereas item order had a relatively small effect. Study 5 (N = 651) demonstrated that the results generalize to single item measures and judgments of shorter time periods. The results suggest that life satisfaction judgments are more heavily based on chronically accessible than temporarily accessible information.
