Abstract	"Subjective indicators have been proven to possess predictive power for a large array of social and economic outcomes. However, most of these measures face serious psychometric shortcomings, namely that the items used are not psychometrically investigated. Furthermore, various different item phrasing and response formats are used in different surveys for the assessment of one and the same construct. The present paper makes several recommendations to improve the quality and thus also the acceptance and usage of subjective indicators. These include the development of more ultra-short but multi-item measures for subjective indicators. In addition, surveys should try to use the same form of measurement (i.e., the same item phrasings and the same response scales). In terms of psychometric properties, the report recommends that the reliability and validity of the indicators be investigated in as much depth as possible. In addition, suggestions are made regarding how best to investigate the respondent's judgmental process for the measurement of subjective indicators, which will allow researchers to obtain a clearer picture of how the item is understood by the respondent and the cues on which he bases his judgment."
