“…In this study, although positive affects overlap with negative ones, the presence of depressive symptoms was higher in the elderly who had lower life satisfaction rates (r=-0.519; p=0.000). Regarding the evaluation of affects and life satisfaction, women presented higher averages (29) for positive affects and life satisfaction, differing from the results found in a study conducted in the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba State. This data allows the realization that female longevity is not interfering with their life satisfaction.…”

“…In line with this result, Herzig in Canada clarified that more successful coopers appear to have a repertoire of many coping strategies and strategically select combinations of coping strategies for use in particular situations. These findings go in line with Nunes et al [35] in Brazil who indicated that, among all the coping strategies, the most used were the Religious Practices.…”

Background: Retirement is a major and fundamental life change that affects numerous areas. The transition from a life of work to one of retirement has both practical and emotional implications. Apart from physical health issues, they are more likely to suffer from mental and psychological distress. Materials and methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 retirees of district Srinagar from June 2015 to June 2016, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Levels of Stress and coping among retirees were assessed using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales and Brief COPE scale. Results: Nearly 40(40%) of cases had moderate level (10-12), 03(03%) had severe level (13-16), 04(04%) had extremely severe level (17+), and around 35(35%) had no stress (0-7). Majority of retired employees 85(85%)either used average level (57-84), or used good level (85-112) of coping with a minority 10(10%) using low level (28-56) of coping. There was a significant positive correlation between the stress and coping scores among retired employees. Conclusion: The perceived level of stress was moderate among retired employees and the retirees used average level of coping to deal with the retirement stress. There is a need for organized family and social support to improve the physical and psychological health of retirees.

“…Existing literature corroborated that various personal and contextual factors were strongly allied to elderly subjective wellbeing. For instance, elderly subjective wellbeing has been found to have a positive association with cognitive reappraisal (Rami, 2013), attachment security (Karreman & Vingerhoets, 2012), religion (Gull & Dawood, 2013;Lun & Bond, 2013), quality of parent-child relationship (Ward, 2008), coping strategies (Nunes et al, 2016), self-esteem (Pu et al, 2015), selfcontrol (Tu & Yang, 2016), meaning in life (Ju et al, 2012), cognitive health (Banjare et al, 2015) and filial relations (Yunong, 2012). Contrary to this, perceived stress (Extremera & Rey, 2015), dysfunctional regulation (Carter & Walker, 2014) attachment insecurity (Kafetsios & Sideridis, 2006), relational equity and dissatisfaction (Reczek & Zhang, 2015) were inversely associated with elderly subjective wellbeing.…”

“…The elderly people worldwide amounts to 962 million, and is projected to reach 2.1 billion in 2050, and 3.1 billion in 2100. This changing demography has triggered some physical and mental health challenges in aged individuals (Nunes et al, 2016). Life span development perspective states that older people age successfully if they are able to manage their sense of wellbeing using flexible adaptive strategies that optimize their personal functioning and wellbeing despite constraints in personal competence and external resources (Baltes & Baltes, 1999).…”

The persistent increase in longevity has impelled social scientists to concentrate on the factors that can improve later life health and wellbeing. Extant literature indicates that filial responsibility, self-esteem, emotional regulation, attachment, parent-adult child relationship quality and religiosity are among those contributing factors for elderly subjective wellbeing. A systematic review was conducted to synthesize available evidence regarding the psychosocial determinants of elderly subjective wellbeing. Google Scholar, Science Direct and PubMed were searched for potentially relevant articles published from 2011 to 2017. Eighteen out of 216 full-text papers met the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised. The internal validity and quality of selected studies were assessed using STROBE and SIGN checklists. The findings of the current review suggest that filial responsibility, emotional regulation, self-esteem, attachment, and parent-adult child relationship quality were consistent determinants of elderly wellbeing; whereas findings on religiosity were equivocal. Further, self-esteem and emotional regulation emerged as significant cognitive-emotional underlying factors for the association between family relations and elderly wellbeing. In conclusion, despite methodological limitations of selected studies, this review was able to identify a number of psychosocial determinants of elderly subjective wellbeing. A comprehensive knowledge of these determining factors can contribute to a better understanding of empirical connections and identification of gaps in literature as well as directions for future studies.
