Abstract: Old age is a period when people move away from a previously more desirable period to a lesser desirable period. Life satisfaction among the aged is an important construct in the psycho-social study of ageing. In gerontology, life satisfaction is a concept frequently used to assess subjective well-being (Silverman, 2008). Present study focuses on identifying and comparing the level of satisfaction among senior citizens from institutionalised setting and non-institutionalised setting. Data was collected from a total sample of 120. Sixty five respondents from institutionalised setting and 55 respondents from non- institutionalised setting were selected. The data was collected from the respondents using Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS).
Keywords: Old age, Life Satisfaction, Institutionalised, Non-Institutionalised.
