AB - The German <i>Satisfaction with the Political System</i> Short Scale (SPS) (in German: Kurzskala zur Erfassung <i>Politischer Systemzufriedenheit</i>) measures people’s satisfaction with the political system with four items that capture a variety of indications for satisfaction (in particular, justice and freedom for all, and equal treatment of different population groups within a political system). The empirical validation for Germany shows that the SPS allows reliable and valid measurement of people’s satisfaction with the political system. The items used in the SPS scale have been used previously (Fuchs, 1987, 1989; Roller, 1992; Neidhardt et al.,1994). However, in those studies the items were mainly used as single indicators but not as a joint scale or index of satisfaction. The dataset analysed here was obtained via an interviewer-guided face-to-face interview. The SEM-based and recommended two-factor model showed a much better model fit than a one-factor model, also in terms of simple structure of factor loadings. Both factors are useful and contribute to the common core of the general factor. While the items of the first factor focus on value-based aspects, like justice, fairness and freedom (hence termed <i>justice and freedom for all</i>), the items of the second one deal with the influence, or equal treatment, of different population groups (hence named <i>equal treatment of different population groups</i>). The German instrument has been validated for the West-German population regardless of age and social class, but the authors invite researchers to adapt it to the English-speaking realm by using the supplied translations.
