Tornstam identified a potential maturation process during aging that leads to a new vision and understanding of life, which he called gerotranscendence and which proved to be linked to the maintenance of well-being levels. Although his contributions have aroused considerable interest, they have also prompted much criticism. In order to empirically explore the proposal, an incidental sample of 370 Argentine adults was administered a battery of instruments that evaluated: age, spiritual transcendence, life satisfaction, centrality of events, and religiosity. The results indicate that age partially explains spiritual transcendence, just as age partially explains life satisfaction. However, the relationship between age and spiritual transcendence is not exclusive to old age. On the other hand, in the exploration of latent variables at chronological age, the centrality of events makes it possible to partially explain both the variance of spiritual transcendence and life satisfaction. While religiosity, in its socio-community contribution, is excluded from the explanatory model of gerotranscendence. Future studies should delve into the possible latent variables at chronological age and the socio-community contributions that could add to the understanding of the link between aging, spiritual transcendence and well-being.
