Positive and negative life change and positive and negative affect among the rural elderly
Recent research has supported a separate domain model of life change and well-being. According to this model, negative life change primarily influences psychological distress or negative affect, whereas positive life change influences positive affect. Structured interview data from 140 rural older adults were used to test this model. Seven well-being indices were used: three tapping negative affect, two tapping positive affect, and two global mea…

Here, the Gardners' pioneering work (Gardner and Gardner, 1969; forthcoming) stands out as perhaps the most impo…

Although the locus for this struggle is largely intra-psychic, its implications go far beyond the single individual. The theme …
