摘要: Concern here is with the relationship between religious affiliation and life satisfaction. Past research points to religion as an important factor in adjustment of aged. However, there have been contradictory findings on aging church attendance. Church attendance patterns are examined relation personal adjustment. The intervening variable elderly person's physical disabilities offered explanation for declining age.
