 | | Well-being, control and ageing
| | Mastery is a major predictor for subjective well-being. As mastery declines with age, one should expect also a decline in well-being. When this is not the case, it might be explained by mastery becoming less important for well-being with increasing age, and a move over to more passive coping styles. The hypothesis is, however, not supported by the present findings from the Norwegian Life-Course, Ageing and Generation Study (NorLAG). | | 10.10.2007 | | [more] |
