The present research studied subjective well-being (SWB) in late life, and looked at two dimensions of wellbeing: happiness and life satisfaction (LS). A purposive sample of 500 older men (n= 276) and women
(n=224) was taken to statistically determine the predictors of SWB. Two categories of predictor variables
were taken: Demographic Predictors (Age, Gender, Education, Marital Status, Physical Health and Financial
Status), and Existential Determinants (Personal Meaning, Resilient Coping and Optimism). Regression
analysis revealed that for happiness and life satisfaction, age, education and general health were significant
predictors. For happiness, all three factors of optimism, meaning and resilience were significant. For LS,
however, only personal meaning was significant. Findings support the theoretical framework that guided the
study namely, the existential model of positive aging (Wong, 1989, 1998). This research has important
implications for promoting successful aging and optimal wellness till the end of life
