This quasi-experimental pretest/posttest control group study design evaluated the effects of a multi-component educational intervention on the well-being of older adults. Participants were members of a senior community center in the Midwestern United States. The sample consisted of 45 participants assigned to either a treatment or control group. Treatment group participated in a 6-week yoga-based class including journaling assignments based on the PERMA model. Control group participants received no intervention during the study time period, but were able to attend the same classes after the study data were collected. The Flourishing Scale and the Salutogenic Wellness Promotion Scale (SWPS) were used to collect quantitative data. Analysis included a Shapiro-Wilk's test, Q-Q plots assessing normal distribution, a Pearson's product-moment correlation to assess the relationship between the two measures, ANOVA tests of total scores from both measures, and independent-samples t-tests for behavior category scores on the SWPS. No statistically significant differences were found within or between the treatment and control group total scores on both measures. A statistically significant difference was found between groups on the social behavioral category. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
