Service Providers and the Concept of Life Satisfaction

Nancy Lohmann

West Virginia University

The concept of life satisfaction has been central in much gerontological research. However, that concept and findings concerning it have been far less central in the activities of service providers. The concept has the potential to link the activities of academicians and practitioners in ways that would benefit older people. Afocus on research describing variables that influence life satisfaction and are subject to manipulation by program and policy interventions would benefit practitioners in program development and selection. Measures of life satisfaction used as program impact and outcome measures would help assess the effectiveness of interventions as well as contribute to applied research.
