Creating and maintaining purpose in life in old age: A meta-analysis (2002, background): “In addition, there is empirical evidence that the level of positive affect, which was strongly correlated with purpose in life, shows only very small age-associated changes (Pinquart, 2001).”
The Role of Cognitive Control in Older Adults' Emotional Well-Being (2008, background): “…Little, & Smith, 2000; Labouvie-Vief, Diehl, Jain, & Zhang, 2007; Magai, 2001; Mroczek & Kolarz, 1998; Schroots, 2003; Staudinger, Bluck, & Herzberg, 2003), and others stability (Costa, McCrae, & Zonderman, 1987; Diener & Diener, 1996; Stacey & Gatz, 1991) or even decline (Pinquart, 2001).”
Gradual Retirement, Sense of Control, and Retirees' Happiness (2009, background): “…for the decline in health and the loss of social roles and loved ones that come with aging, neither longitudinal nor cross-sectional studies have found a substantial relationship between age and happiness in retirement (Cheng 2004; Jorm 2000; Kunzmann, Little, and Smith 2000; Pinquart 2001).”
Daily experience of serious leisure, flow and subjective well‐being of older adults (2010, background): “Beyond a general relationship between SWB and leisure participation, studies have shown that individual characteristics such as age and gender are closely related to SWB among older adults (Han, 1988; Pinquart, 2001; Vitterso, 2003; Voelkl, 1990).”
The evolving concept of subjective well-being: The multifaceted nature of happiness. (2009, background): “Both Kunzmann et al. (2000) and Pinquart (2001) noted that the size of age effects often varies depending on whether cross-sectional or longitudinal methods are used.”
The age and subjective well-being paradox revisited:A multidimensional perspective (2012, unknown): “The cross-sectional decrease in positive affect is consistent with international cross-sectional and longitudinal evidence (24).”
Determinants of quality of life amongst older people in deprived neighbourhoods (2004, background): “Women, particularly older women, tend to express the highest levels of dissatisfaction with life (Haug and Folmar 1986), and advanced age reduces the quality of life most of all (Pinquart 2001).”
An introduction to the work and well-being of older workers: From managing threats to creating opportunities. (2008, background): “A meta-analysis of Pinquart (2001) on this issue showed a small age-associated increase of negative affect and a small age-related decline of positive affect.”
