Answer 2

In a sample of community-dwelling older adults (55+; N = 1,392), we found that QoL was most strongly (and directly) related to positive appraisal style and self-management ability. Among those, self-efficacy seemed to be crucial. It connected directly to “satisfaction with past, present, and future activities,” a key facet of QoL with strong interconnections to other QoL facets.
After SMA, positive appraisal style was important for QOL as well.
