Gender differences, life satisfaction, its correlate and death anxiety in retirement
Gender differences, life satisfaction, its correlate and death anxiety in retirement

Summary/Abstract: This two fold research was envisioned to explore life satisfaction, its correlates and death anxiety in retirees as well as gender difference in the levels of life satisfaction and death anxiety. The authors carried out correlational research of 111 retirees (56-70years). The Satisfaction with Life Scale1 and Templar Death Anxiety Scale were used to measure life satisfaction and death anxiety respectively whereas correlates of life satisfaction were explored through single stem in demographic form. The study fallouts indicated that life satisfaction was inversely related to death anxiety and significant gender differences were present only in the level of death anxiety. Furthermore, income/pension, age, religious orientation and type of retirement were found as significant correlates of life satisfaction. Implications for retirees, geriatric mental health professionals, non-governmental organizations and policy makers were put forward.
