Abstract

Este estudio explora las diferencias asociadas con la edad en varia-bles relacionadas con la infelicidad (infelicidad autoinformada) y satisfacción con la vida. Participan 2143 personas pertenecientes a cuatro grupos de edad: jóvenes, adultos, mayores y ancianos. Los resultados revelan que las personas mayores presentan un mayor nivel de satisfacción con la vida que los jóvenes, así como una mayor puntuación que estos en felicidad percibida. Los resultados contradicen las hipótesis de la relación entre desarrollo y felicidad, que vinculan prosperidad material y satisfacción vital; los datos aportados, en cambio, muestran a una población joven más infeliz que las más ancianas.
