“…Based on previous literature on the determinants of Life Satisfaction, five broad domains of covariates have been identified and included in the analysis as controls [ 4 , 11 , 25 , 36 , 42 , 47 – 49 ]. These domains pertain to demographic factors (age, sex, marital status, religion, social group); social support factor (living arrangement); socioeconomic factors (residence, economic status, education, work status); health conditions (chronic ailments, impairments); and financial empowerment (intra-household involvement in financial matters).…”

“…But changes in living arrangements, and family structures are affecting the health and life satisfaction of older adults [ 41 , 86 ]. Moreover, due to the lack of effective social institutions and broad-based pension or social security schemes in developing countries, the factors affecting the life satisfaction of older adults in developing countries might differ from those affecting older population of the developed world [ 38 , 42 ].…”

Background: Life satisfaction (LS), a useful construct in the study of psycho-social well-being, is an important indicator of healthy aging. With a view to investigate whether the improved longevity in India is accompanied by commensurate levels of well-being and contentment among the older adults , this study aimed to examine (1) the association between LS and sleep quality among older Indian adults aged 60 years and above (2) the mediating role of depression that accounts for the association and (3) the moderating role of functional limitation in this mediation. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in India (LASI), Wave-1 (2017-18) was used. Pearson’s correlation coefficients were calculated to investigate the pair-wise relationship between sleep quality, depressive symptoms, functional limitation, and LS. Structural Equation Model was employed to analyse the moderated-mediated association between sleep quality and the level of LS. Results: Sleep quality had a direct effect (β=-0.12) as well as an indirect effect (β=-0.024) via depressive symptoms on LS, accounting for 83.6 and 16.4 per cent of the total effects, respectively. Also, the interaction term between poor seep quality and functional limitation was positive (β = 0.03, p < 0.001) in determining depressive symptoms, suggesting that higher level of functional limitation aggravated the indirect effect of poor sleep quality on LS. Conclusion: The findings of the study suggested that ensuring both the physical as well as the mental well-being of the population during the life course may confer in later life the desired level of life satisfaction.

“…The breadth of the concept is mirrored by the large number of variables associated with wellbeing in the extant literature. These include demographic variables [42], personality [43], satisfaction of psychological needs such as autonomy, competence, and relatedness [44][45][46], physical activity [47,48], physical health [49,50], education [51], culture [43], and some economic variables, especially unemployment [42,52]. The breadth of the concept is also reflected in the diversity of its antecedents; over and above those already mentioned, there is evidence for associations between wellbeing and genetic inheritance [53], nature connectedness [54], the practice of minimalism [55], and use of social media [56].…”

Background and objectives: Wellbeing among university students is associated with better academic outcomes and diminished harm from mental illness. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyses longitudinal studies of the antecedents and consequences of wellbeing within this population, providing an overview which establishes a ‘natural history’ of wellbeing to form a background for intervention and policy. Method: This study was a systematic review and meta-analysis of the peer-reviewed literature, based on a broad range of search terms across four journal databases in psychology, medicine and education. Studies were organised by the domain of their study variables (i.e., Self, Relationships, or Institutional Context) and variables relating to wellbeing were extracted. The incremental effect of study variables measured at baseline upon prospective wellbeing was calculated with semipartial correlation coefficients which controlled for baseline wellbeing. Meta-regressions were used to examine the effect of follow-up interval on effect sizes. Results: Sixty-two longitudinal studies of university student cohorts were identified. In 57 studies, wellbeing was an outcome variable. Meta-analyses showed that effects were moderated by measurement interval between baseline and follow-up, becoming weaker with longer intervals, and that this was not an artifact of the measurement instrument. The study factors with the strongest positive effect sizes after controlling for baseline wellbeing were authenticity, self-esteem, self-support for autonomy, emotional repair, and ability to regulate distress and despondency; relationship commitment and group memberships; self-identification with the university and time pressure. Study factors with the strongest negative effect sizes were uncertainty regarding university, materialism, a belief in social complexity, depression, and stress. In five studies, wellbeing was an antecedent, showing positive associations with educational outcomes. Conclusion: This review identified several antecedents of student wellbeing which could be targeted for interventions. These included self-relationship, emotion regulation, and interventions to decrease mental illness. Universities might also make it easier to establish and maintain groups (e.g., study cohorts, interest groups). Many variables which affect wellbeing are not amenable to study with experimental methods, but their study and use in wellbeing interventions should not be neglected. Because the antecedents of wellbeing are numerous and diverse, further research in the area should take advantage of research methods which maximise the variety of data collected and minimise respondent burden, such as passively collected and linked data.
