Stability of Life Satisfaction in Later Life.

Baur, Patricia A.; Okun, Morris A.

Gerontologist, v23 n3 p261-65 Jun 1983

Conducted a longitudinal analysis of life satisfaction scores of retirement community residents (N=91). Results revealed some change but initial and retest life satisfaction scores were highly correlated. Self-perceived health and not being neglected by friends, were significant predictors of initial life satisfaction but not of changes in life satisfaction. (Author/JAC)
