- 소개/요약The elderly are the fastest growing population worldwide (Erber, 2013:6). However, a longer life does not guarantee good health or a high quality of life (Kobylarek, 2011). Old age is typically associated with increases in both physical and psychosocial challenges, including adapting to and coping with change and loss, increased illness, vulnerability to mental disorders, cognitive decline and greater limitations in physical functioning (Erber, 2013). Such factors have been found to have negative effects on the wellbeing of elderly individuals (Diener & Chan, 2011). At the same time, it is important to note that the positive cognitive, reflective and affective qualities that these individuals have acquired with age and life experience can serve a protective function (Baltes & Baltes, 1990; Phillipson, 2013; Ramirez, Ortega, Chamorro & Colmenero, 2013). The study of positive aging is a rapidly developing area for research and practice (Vaillant, 2015). Against this backdrop, the present study aimed to investigate whether mindfulness plays a role in the relationship between life satisfaction and spiritual wellbeing amongst elderly individuals.
