In particular, ways of maintaining and enhancing high quality of life in late adulthood are discussed. The major factors are: (1) physical health; (2) personal income and financial stability; (3) family dynamics and cohesiveness; (4) social support networks; (5) meaning of life ‐ goal setting and subjective evaluation; (6) maintenance of optimal level of cognitive functioning; (7) personal control and prevention of depression; (8) diversity of stress‐coping strategies; (9) mastery of bereavement and widowhood; (10) self‐justification mechanism of negative life outcomes. In order to check generality andlor universality across various cultures, the cross‐cultural approach was adopted.
