Continued Growth and Life Satisfaction

Abstract

Developmental Task accomplishment has long been regarded as indicative of successful growth for children and youth. This study applies the concept to elderly subjects and reports a significant relationship between development task accomplishment (measured by a self-report instrument) and life-satisfaction. The authors see their results as supporting the position that life satisfaction is enhanced through continued growth as represented by developmental task accomplishment.
