Predictors of Happiness.

Kozma, Albert; Stones, M. J.

Journal of Gerontology, v38 n5 p626-28 Sep 1983

Studied the stability of happiness for rural, urban, and institutionalized Canadian older adults (N=600). For urban and institutionalized persons housing satisfaction was the main predictor; for rural individuals, health and marital status remained consistent predictors. Results showed that although predictors differ, happiness remains stable in later years. (WAS)
