LIFE SUCCESS AND SATISFACTION
Life satisfaction, which can be defined as general happiness or well-being, is related to severaldemographic and personal qualities The factor of age is important because the elements that make up lifesatisfaction may differ from one age to the next Income is more likely to predict life satisfaction amongmiddle-aged and older adults than among young adults Health is a more significant predictor ofhappiness among older adults than among the young or the middle-aged However, average levels of lifesatisfaction do not change significantly with age Generally speaking, older adults are as satisfied withtheir lives as are younger or middle-aged adults
There is no single clement that guarantees high life satisfaction for everyone who possesses it.Happiness seems to consist of many things that each person weighs differently, such as income,education, work, and relationship However, certain factors are reliable predictors of life satisfaction Onesuch predictor is health, especially one's perception of one's own health rather than a doctor's objective
health assessment Another predictor of life satisfaction is a feeling of being in charge of one's own life
and a sense of authority over one's own decisions Adults who feel that they have some choices andoptions are generally happier than those who feel that their lives are controlled by others or by fate orchance For example, older adults who experience financial strain feel less life satisfaction mainly
because the problem signals a loss of control over their lives.
The largest predictor of life satisfaction appears to be the adequacy of social relationships,especially marriage and family relationships The perceived quality rather than the quantity of socialinteractions is most strongly related to happiness Satisfaction with one's close personal relationships ismore closely linked to overall life satisfaction than either demographic factors or satisfaction with otherkey aspects of adult life such as occupation This is true even among highly educated men, who typicallyhave a very high commitment to their work The quality of social support available in one's keyrelationships affects the ability to handle stress and life changes as well as one's ongoing level of lifesatisfaction
Trang 2Studies suggest that family background and early-adulthood resources are predictors ofpsychological health or success at midlife People who age well are those who start out well One studyshowed that the happiest and most successful middle-aged adults and grown up in warm, supportive,intellectually stimulating families Well-adjusted or successful middle-aged adults began adulthood withmore personal resources, including better psychological and physical health at college age They also hadbeen practical and well organized in college and had shown greater intellectual competence.
However, no measure of early family environment or early-adult competence remained a significantpredictor of psychological well-being at the end of middle age One study of men revealed that at the age
of 65, there were no childhood or early-adulthood characteristics that distinguished between men who hadturned out well and those who had not However, what did predict success and well-being at age 65 wasthe men's health and adjustment at midlife These results suggest that a successful adult life is not
something preordained from childhood or carly adulthood but rather something created out of the
opportunities available over the course of one's life Late-life success is related more directly to midlifequalities or experiences People who start out with certain advantages have a greater chance ofexperiencing further advantages; however, it is what one does with experiences - both positive andnegative that determines long-term life satisfaction The choices that people make in early adulthood helpshape who they are at midlife, and those midlife qualities in turn influence who they become later in life
