Involvement in Activities and the Psychological Well-Being of Retired Men Activities, Adaptation, and Aging 11,1 (1988): 31-47. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1300/J016v11n01_04 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Haworth Press, Inc. Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Attitudes; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Variables, Independent - Covariate; Well-Being This research represents a partial test of the activity theory of aging. The data used are from the NLS of Older Men and the Bradburn Affect Balance Scale and its subscales of Positive and Negative Affect were employed as dependent variables while participation in ten types of activities were used as the primary independent variables. The central hypothesis that more involvement in activities results in higher levels of psychological well-being was supported in the cases of Positive Affect and Affect Balance. However, involvement in activities exerted trivial effects on Negative Affect and other hypotheses based on activity theory were not supported. |
