Abstract
In later life, the home plays an increasing role as a site for leisure activities, social interaction, and personal growth. This research examined variables that were hypothesized to relate to home satisfaction for older adults. Home satisfaction was also compared to life satisfaction. Sixty-four older adults provided information on home satisfaction; health capacity; the psychosocial variables of self-esteem, locus of control, and social support; and life satisfaction. Home satisfaction was best predicted by health and by self-esteem In contrast, life satisfaction was best predicted by the three psychosocial variables. The outcomes of this research suggested the usefulness of a goodness-of-fit model for understanding and augmenting home satisfaction in later life.
