The Congruence between Actual and Desired Use of Time by Older Adults: A Predictor of Life Satisfaction.

Seleen, Diane R.

Gerontologist, v22 n1 p95-99 Feb 1982

A significant amount of variation in life satisfaction beyond the demographic variables was found when 205 elderly persons were tested. Two life satisfaction measures were employed and compared. Results supported the use of a single-item inventory and suggested that satisfaction with time use contributes to life satisfaction. (Author/RC)
