metadata.value: The article presents the results of an analytical review of modern publications and an empirical
  study of life satisfaction among women and men of elderly and senile age. The problems
  of studying life satisfaction and psychological well-being among older respondents, related
  to the formation of gender-balanced samples and the selection of adequate instruments, are
  noted. The results of studies of the examined characteristics in women and men, as well as
  in representatives of different age groups, are demonstrated. Unique factors of psychological
  well-being in different samples are shown. Elderly respondents noted a greater importance
  of health, prosperity and peace in the family, a positive attitude towards themselves and
  others, as well as spirituality, compared to younger respondents who were more focused on
  self-development and activity. A distinctive feature of this work is the comparison of the
  results in two groups equalized by age, level of education, professional and family status,
  which included 36 women and 36 men aged from 64 to 89 years. When comparing the results
  of these groups, differences were found only in emotional support and self-esteem of
  character. Life satisfaction in old and senile age does not differ between men and women,
  but it is associated with different variables. For women, the indicators that reflect the success
  of social interaction — emotional and instrumental support and self-esteem of character are
  the most important. Self-esteem of appearance at this age is not a resource for life satisfaction.
  Life satisfaction among older men is related to their self-esteem and does not differ
  depending on social support or sociotropy/self-sufficiency, nor on involvement in family
  interactions. The question is raised about the effectiveness of using the Differential Loneliness
  Questionnaire in this age group.
