The relationship of stress and social support to life satisfaction: Age effects

Abstract

The present study rephrased the debate between activity and disengagement theorists using the terminology of the stress/social support literature. The following hypotheses were tested: (1) stress has more of a negative impact on the life satisfaction of those under age 75 than those over age 75; (2) social support has more of a positive effect on life satisfaction in those under age 75 than those over age 75; (3) the buffering effect of social support is stronger in the under age 75 group than the over age 75 group. The analyses supported hypotheses 1 and 2, but not hypothesis 3.
