Abstract
Psychological well-being was explored in a sample of 309 newly separated men and women aged 20 to 79. Consistent with hypothesized differences, the men were significantly less happy than the women, and older respondents reported greater unhappiness than the younger. Very little of the variation in well-being was explained when social context factors such as education, occupation, religion, ethnicity, and lengths of marriage and separation were considered individually. Multiple regression statistics, computed separately for men and women under and over 40, demonstrated that significant levels of variation in well-being can be explained when social context factors are considered in concert.
