Abstract
Abstract This study aims to compare the Subjective Well-being (SWB) in older and younger adults and its predictors based on perceived past and current life, problems, social participation and social support activities, with a convenience sample composed of 467 older and 519 younger adults. Older adults showed lower scores of SWB and perceived good life, associated with higher past and current health and family problems. Younger adults reported more past and current love problems, negatively predicting SWB. Social participation and support activities predicted SWB only among older adults. Older and younger adults’ life circumstances produce differences in SWB. Social participation and support activities can promote SWB in older adults, acting as a buffer against the constraints and self-perceptions resulting from aging.
