Why is it important?
Previous studies have more than once concluded that volunteer work is positively related to the health of the elderly. However, its relation to psychological well-being has not received equal attention. Hence, this study has tried to examine and verify the positive relation between them.
Perspectives
This result implies that the concept model of psychological well-being by Ryff (1989) can be applied across nations and groups, and certainly to the group of the elderly.
