The Power of Positive Emotions: It's a Matter of Life or Death-Subjective Well-Being and Longevity Over 28 Years in a General Population
Objective: This study longitudinally examined Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and its components, namely, Positive Feelings (PF, including global life satisfaction [GLS]), domain life satisfaction [DLS], and positive affect [PA]) as well as Negative Feelings (NF) as predictors of longevity in a general...

| description | Objective:
This study longitudinally examined Subjective Well-Being (SWB) and its components, namely, Positive Feelings (PF, including global life satisfaction [GLS]), domain life satisfaction [DLS], and positive affect [PA]) as well as Negative Feelings (NF) as predictors of longevity in a general population.
Design:
Data from the Alameda County Study over 28 years (1965-1993,
N
= 6856) were analyzed with multivariate Cox Proportional Hazard Models.
Main Outcome Measures:
Longevity, evaluated by risks of all-cause, natural-cause, and unnatural-cause mortality.
Results:
After demographic and baseline health covariates were controlled, SWB, PF, GLS, and DLS significantly predicted lowered risks of all-cause and natural-cause mortality (Relative Risk per unit predictor increase [RR] ranged .904-.989,
p
values ranged .000-.05). SWB, PF, and GLS also significantly predicted lowered risk of unnatural-cause mortality (RR ranged .862-.961,
p
values ranged .014-.05). These associations seemed partially or completely mediated by social networks. The associations were also found separately in younger ( |

The associations were also found separately in younger (<55 in age) and/or older (≥55) subsamples, and were especially salient in the healthy subsample.

Conclusion:
SWB and its various positive components, but not NF, significantly predict longevity in the general population.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0278-6133</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1930-7810</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1037/a0016767</identifier><identifier>PMID: 20063931</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Washington, DC: American Psychological Association</publisher><subject>Adult.
