Satisfaction with life, job, firm and income can be considered as indicators of the latent cognition about one's quality of life. In the present analysis, we postulated that, for most of the Japanese males, a) the two principal dimensions of the cognitive subspace related to covert evaluation of the attained intrinsic and extrinsic rewards of work, b) latent states in these dimensions were to be manifested as job and income satisfaction, respectively, c) job and firm satisfaction were indicators of the same cognition, and d) life satisfaction was the overall evaluation derived from cognition in these dimensions. The postulates were then translated into a latent class model and applied to the data of a large national sample. Although the model in the original form did not meet our acceptance criteria, the reasonable fit was obtained when it was modified to let job satisfaction partially reflect cognition in the other dimension as well. It was also found that there were two classes of people whose cognitive subspace comprised additional dimension (s). However, the classes were small in size. The results of our analysis provide evidence that both spillover and compensatory effects exist in a large population.
