Abstract

The purpose of this study was to better understand adjustment and life satisfaction in later life. In particular, it examined the contribution of leisure participation and motivation toward leisure in older people's adjustment to their nursing homes and their satisfaction with life.. Study results underlined the contribution of participation in leisure activities both to the adaptation of an elderly person to his residence and to life satisfaction. In terms of adaptation to the residence, participation in recreational activities exhibited this mediational sequence: leisure participation→self-determined motivation for leisure→adjustment to nursing homes. This suggests that leisure participation has an indirect effect on older people's adaptability. Various practical implications of this research emerge for the development of future recreational programs in nursing homes to promote seniors' adaptation.
