Abstract
This study examined the relationships among situational factors, fear of personal aging, and subjective well-being in a probability sample of 595 alabamians, aged 55 and older, using regression analysis. Of the variables employed, fear of aging was found to be the best predictor of subjective well-being.Keywords
