Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which demographic variables and attachment predicted quality of life in community-dwelling older men. The subjects were 100 men aged 58 to 84 (M = 68.4). Hierarchical regression revealed that two demographic variables, plus the attachment variable, accounted for 30% of the variance in predicting quality of life. Having no limiting health condition accounted for 17% of the variance, while education accounted for an additional 5% of the variance. The attachment total score accounted for an additional 8% of the variance in predicting quality of life.
