When You’re With Me, Baby, the Skies will be Blue for All My Life? A Dyadic Longitudinal Study of Relationship Happiness Through Midlife
Romantic relationships are critically important for a range of psychosocial outcomes across the lifespan, but few studies have examined relationship happiness in midlife. We investigate the trajectories of relationship happiness of romantic couples in midlife and examine whether children in the household, work status, and gender predict these trajectories. Dyadic latent growth curve models were applied to six waves of longitudinal data from N = 2…
Do Predictors of Life Satisfaction Change in the Last Years Leading Up to Retirement? The Case of Job Satisfaction and Leisure Satisfaction
BACKGROUND: Predictors of life satisfaction vary between people of different ages, but little is known about the role of specific life phases. We focused on the last years of work before retirement when it is often assumed that workers become less attached to their workplace and focus on other areas of life instead, such as leisure activity. Our aim was to test if the associations between domain satisfaction (job and leisure) and overall life sat…
Retirement Adjustment in the Pandemic – Did Risk- and Protective Factors Change
Retirement and Volunteering in Germany – Historical Changes and Social Inequalities
The first years of retirement have often been seen as a typical time window to take up (or intensify) voluntary work. Due to the changing context of retirement and historical differences in resources, the role of retirement for volunteering may have changed with historical time. We compared individuals aged 60–70 in five cross-sectional waves (1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2019) of the German Survey on Volunteering (Deutscher Freiwilligensurvey: FWS) t…
The Risks of Experiencing Severe Loneliness Across Middle and Late Adulthood
Interventions against loneliness may prioritize older age groups because losses in capacities, shifts in motivations, and a degraded opportunity structure render it increasingly less likely that older adults leave a state of loneliness on their own accord
Historical and Cross-Country Differences in Life Satisfaction Across Retirement in Germany and Switzerland From 2000 to 2019
Our findings imply that life satisfaction trajectories around retirement age have improved over the last 20 years. These findings may be explained by general improvements in the health and psychosocial functioning of older people. More research is needed to show for whom these improvements are stronger or weaker and if they will be maintained in a changing retirement landscape
Retirement Adjustment in Germany From 1996 to 2014
The context of retirement has changed over the last decades, but there is little knowledge on whether the quality of retirement adjustment has changed as well. Changes in retirement regulations and historical differences in resources may affect the quality of adjustment and increase inequalities between different socioeconomic groups. In the present study, we investigated historical differences in retirement adjustment by comparing cross-sectiona…
The role of personality in retirement adjustment: Longitudinal evidence for the effects on life satisfaction
OBJECTIVE: Research on retirement suggests that personality can influence the adjustment process, but the mechanisms involved remain still largely unknown. In the present study, we investigate direct and indirect associations between the Big Five personality traits and life satisfaction over the retirement transition. Indirect effects were evaluated through the role of personality for levels and changes in self-esteem, autonomy, social support, s…
Changes in within- and between-person associations between basic psychological need satisfaction and well-being after retirement
Satisfaction of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence and relatedness is associated with higher well-being. However, little is known about change or stability in this association over the life span. We therefore investigated changes in the association between well-being and basic psychological need satisfaction in the retirement transition. Data was drawn from four waves of the Health, Aging, and Retirement Transitions in Sweden …
Preretirement Work Motivation and Subsequent Retirement Adjustment: A Self-Determination Theory Perspective
Research grounded in self-determination theory confirms the importance of different types of work motivation for well-being and job performance. Less is known about the role of work motivation at the end of one’s working life and its association with adjustment to retirement. We investigated the association between preretirement work motivation and retirement adjustment in a subsample of the Health, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden (HEA…
