Well-Being and Control in Older Persons: The Prediction of Well-Being from Control Measures.

Smits, Carolien H. M.; And Others

International Journal of Aging & Human Development, v40 n3 p237-51 1995

Studied interrelation of six facets of control and their ability to predict older persons' well-being. Found modest correlations between control measures. Neuroticism and sense of coherence predicted negative affect. Established tendencies of independent association of mastery with global well-being and of social inadequacy with positive affect. (RJM)
