Abstract
Measured the concept of purpose-in-life and underlying occupational interests and aspirations of older men (N = 25) and women (N = 29) in a gerontological sheltered workshop. The relationship among the Purpose inLife Test, vocational Preference Inventory, Will-to-Live scale, and demographic information, is explored. Findings, which include that the construct of purpose in life and vocational aspirations are poorly related for workshop participants, are discussed in terms of previous research.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
