The Benefits of Savoring Life: Savoring as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Health and Life Satisfaction in Older Adults.

Authors:
Jennifer L Smith Fred B Bryant

Int J Aging Hum Dev 2016 Dec 22;84(1):3-23. Epub 2016 Sep 22.

2 Loyola University Chicago, IL, USA.

We investigated the protective impact of savoring capacity on the relationship between physical health and psychological well-being among older adults. A total of 266 adults over 55 years old ( Mean = 73.4 years) completed measures of savoring ability, self-reported health, and life satisfaction. Savoring ability moderated the relationship between health and life satisfaction in older adults. Among people with less savoring ability, poor health was associated with lower life satisfaction. In contrast, people with greater savoring ability maintained higher life satisfaction, regardless of their level of health. These effects were consistent across a variety of different aspects of health, including general health, pain, limitations due to physical health, energy, and social functioning. These findings have direct implications for developing positive interventions to support the psychological well-being of older adults.

The objective of this study was to examine life satisfaction and athletic identity among para-alpine skiers and explore their associations with sociodemographic, sports practice, and disability-related characteristics of the participants. The respondents to the on-site survey were 129 para-alpine ski racers with acquired disability from 33 countries on all five continents who competed in the Paralympic games in Sochi (aged 16-53 years, mean and median 30 years, 100 men).

Psychology Department & Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute, Wayne State University.

Research highlights the significance of positive sexual self-perceptions for general and sexual health. Yet, most research on the sexuality of lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals has been risk-oriented, leaving a critical gap in knowledge about normative and healthy sexuality among sexual minorities. In part, this gap is due to a lack of sexual health measures with established psychometric properties for LGB individuals. Read More
