Age Related Changes

Prior evidence suggests that subjective well-being (SWB) remains relatively stable across adulthood. However, longitudinal evidence is sparse except in Western societies such as North America and Western Europe. We examined age-related changes in SWB (life satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect) among middle-aged and older Japanese. We applied multilevel growth models to 14-year seven-wave longitudinal data of a dynamic cohort study. A total of 3,890 participants aged 40–81 at first assessment were included in the analysis. The longitudinal results demonstrated differential trajectories of SWB. Life satisfaction exhibited an accelerated increase in middle age but decreased and leveled off in old age. Positive affect increased in midlife and declined in late life. Negative affect remained stable in middle age but increased in old age. Demographics, health, and methodological correlates did not fully account for age-related changes in SWB. Of note, increases in negative affect in old age remained evident even after controlling for the correlates. In conclusion, life satisfaction was stable across adulthood, which was not the case with positive and negative affect. We discussed the possible mechanisms in these observed trajectories of SWB, in particular, negative affect in late life.

The current study was an attempt to examine the interplay between domain-specific self-esteem and life satisfaction with middle-aged Koreans. For four domains (Social/Objective Ability, Positive Characteristics, Interpersonal Relationships, and Family), the mediating effects of the satisfaction index of domain-specific self-esteem between the importance index of domain-specific self-esteem and life satisfaction were tested using structural equation modeling. 364 Koreans in their 40s and 50s were recruited through stratified sampling. Overall, the satisfaction index of domain-specific self-esteem was found to be a strong mediator across all the four domains; for middle-aged Koreans, if they appraised their self-esteem in a given domain as important and they felt satisfied in that domain, their life satisfaction was likely to be higher. Additionally, results of multi-group analysis suggested that the strengths of associations in the model were different between men and women in the Interpersonal Relationships domain.

There are great number of investigation which have shown contradictory results about age differences in life satisfaction. One of the aims of this investigation was to find if there are age differences in life satisfaction. The other aim was to find if there are age differences in other personality characterstics (self-esteem, loneliness, solitude, optimism, pessimism etc) related to the life satisfaction, as well as their relations with life satisfaction in different age groups. Investigation take place in few Croatian towns, and subjects were divided into three age groups. There were 148 younger subjects (18 to 25 years of age), 130 middle aged people (39 to 47 years of age), and 120 older subjects aged 59 to 65 years. Two forms of LIPKO questionnaire, which is consisted of different scales, were used. Results have shown that there are no differences among three different age groups in life satisfaction. There are significant age differences in self-esteem. The lowest results in self-esteem are in die group of the young subjects while the highest results are obtained in the group of the older people. There are no age differences in self-esteem among middle aged and older subjects. Age differences have been obtained for the importance of health goals, and the importance of knowledge and competence goals. The importance of those goals are the highest among younger subjects, and there are no differences among young and older subjects, too. Life satisfaction are in a very high positive correlation with self- esteem and optimism, which could be treated as a reletively stable personality charactesritics, but, on the other hand, life satisfaction are in significant negative correlation with loneliness and future anxiety.

Abstract. The current study investigated the associations of psychological resources, social comparisons, and temporal comparisons with general wellbeing. The sample included 142 community participants (47.9% men; age range 23–83 years), who compared themselves with others, and with their younger selves, on eight dimensions (e.g., physical health, resilience). They also completed questionnaires assessing psychological resources of mastery and self-esteem, and three components of subjective wellbeing: life satisfaction and negative and positive affect. The main results showed that high levels of psychological resources contributed to wellbeing, with self-enhancing social and temporal comparisons moderating the effects of resources on certain wellbeing components. Specifically, under low levels of mastery or self-esteem self-enhancing social or temporal comparisons were related to either higher life satisfaction or positive affect. The results highlight the role of resources and comparisons in promoting people’s wellbeing, and suggest that self-enhancing comparisons function as cognitive coping mechanisms when psychological resources are low.
