Abstract

This paper presents on the base of literature review the preliminary results of research of internal determinants of Quality of Life in 50+ yo Polish citizens group. Acceptable fitting the data path model explaining general Quality of Life (QoL) measured using WHO QoL BREF questionnaire as dependent variable is presented with goodness of fit indices. The model suggests that key to higher Quality of Life is high Self-acceptance (explaining about 70% of QoL variability). All other researched internal factors such as: poor coping strategies (negatively connected), good relations and life attitudes as well as self-assessed physical health (all positively connected) are influencing Quality of Life indirectly through the Self-acceptance. In the paper are provided also separate regression models explaining each of general Quality of Life sub-dimensions describing such domains as: physical health, psychological bodily image, social relationships and environment. Investigated independent variables mostly of psychological nature allowed to explain between 21% and 47% of dependent variable variability.
