Subjective well-being among the rural elderly population.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychosocial factors and subjective well-being among rural elderly persons. A broad range of psychosocial factors (such as mastery, social support, and perceived health) and measures of well-being (such as positive and negative affect and life satisfaction) were employed in bivariate correlation, canonical correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The findings show significant relationships between subjective well-being measures and psychosocial factors that are concomitant with other populations, both elderly and general.

Generations and aging: a longitudinal study.

This study is a longitudinal investigation of the relationship between age and subjective outlook. Over the years, a number of theoretical positions have been introduced to either account for or to minimize age differences in attitudes, values and beliefs. The author has organized these theories of aging into three basic sociological fremeworks or models: the "generations" model, the "age status" model and the "illusion of differences" model. Using a relatively simple methodological desihn, hypotheses derived from these models were tested through secondary analysis of survey data. Strong support was found for the "generations" hypothesis, weak support for the "age status" hypothesis, and no support at all for the "illusion of differences" hypothesis.
