in different age groups, Maria Izal, Ignacio Montorio, Andres Losada, Maria Marquez, Gema
Perez, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
The capacity of several control and emotion-related variables to predict subjective well-being in
different age groups is analyzed. Measures of positive and negative affect, life satisfaction,
perceived control, control strategies, emotional control, affect intensity and emotion-regulation
strategies, were administered 50 young, 50 middle-aged and 50 elderly subjects. A factor analysis
was performed with some variables, identifying four factors: internality, exerted control,
emotional regulation and helplessness. A step-wise regression analysis was performed with the
factorial scores as independent variables and subjective well-being as the dependent one, finding
differences between age groups in the relative capacity of the variables to predict well-being.
