Abstract

The study aims to investigate factors affecting subjective well-being of the pre-elderly. The factors considered were 'leisure activities', 'leisure activities', 'leisure satisfaction' and some 'background variables'. The subjects were 251 pre-elderly persons (<TEX>$50{\sim}60$</TEX> years old) who completed the questionnaire assessing the variables for the study. The results include: 'Life satisfaction' of the pre-elderly is affected with the variables of 'health', 'financial situation', 'leisure activities without their partner', 'leisure activities with family', 'local community leisure activities', 'social satisfaction' and 'psychological satisfaction in leisure activities'. Their emotion is positively influenced by the variables of 'health', 'financial situation', 'leisure activities without a partner', 'leisure activities with family', 'social satisfaction in leisure activities'. and negatively influenced by the variables of 'age', 'health', 'financial situation', 'leisure activities without a partner', 'social satisfaction in leisure activities'. In conclusion, leisure satisfaction and a partner for leisure activities are more important determinants than frequency of leisure activities in pre-elders' subjective well-being.
