    Summary

    This study found no significant sex differences in life satisfaction among older adults. The same factors influence life satisfaction equally in both men and women, indicating consistent causal mechanisms across genders.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Gerontology
    • Psychology
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Sex differences in life satisfaction are frequently studied but remain inconclusive.
    • Previous research may be limited by unconsidered variables, failure to distinguish effect types, and inadequate statistical testing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and evaluate a causal model of life satisfaction.
    • To investigate potential sex differences in the causal mechanisms influencing life satisfaction.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized four large datasets (N=961 to 3,996).
    • Employed structural equation modeling to test a causal model of life satisfaction.
    • Analyzed male and female subsamples separately and comparatively.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed causal model demonstrated good fit for both male and female subsamples.
    • Findings were consistent across all four independent datasets.
    • No systematic differences were observed in the structural parameters between sexes.

    Conclusions:

    • The causal pathways influencing life satisfaction operate similarly for both men and women.
    • This suggests a unified mechanism underlying life satisfaction, irrespective of sex.
    • The study provides robust evidence against significant sex-based disparities in life satisfaction determinants.
