Satisfaction with retirement life is postulated to be a function of life cycle forces, socio-environmental influences and the degree of fulfillment of Maslow's hierarchy of needs through participation in recreational-leisure activities. These postulates are tested on data from personal interviews of three hundred retirees. Retirees' needs are found to vary by stage of retirement. Life satisfaction levels; life cycle forces and certain elements of Maslow's need structure are found to correspond
