Empirical work on how individuals interpret the scale could be helpful but is extremely limited. A small (n = 75) survey in the UK found that respondents would choose death over life at a life satisfaction level of about 2⁄10 (Peasgood et al., unpublished, as referenced in Krekel & Frijters, 2021)
We’re having trouble actually finding the Peasgood et al paper. Have you/has anyone actually seen it?
I’m glad that it is a real thing :-). If you could get permission to share it that would be very helpful. There are several pieces of work relying on it including a handbook chapter and a UK government paper. And this is relevant for our pivotal questions on well-being measures

It’s unpublished, but I actually have access to a version of it. I would have to ask Peasgood to share with anyone.
