A brief note on a preliminary study of life satisfaction for male university faculty of differing chronological ages.
Male faculty of a large southeastern university were surveyed in order to determine the relationship between life satisfaction and chronological age for a relatively homogeneous population. It was found that satisfaction increased linearly with age for this group. However, the relationship was so slight it was suggested that differences in chronological age did not account for a meaningful amount of the variance in life satisfaction. This is consistent with results obtained for larger segments of the population. Suggestions for further research are provided.
