Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that older adults tend to report higher levels of positive mood and well-being, with some studies even indicating a U-shaped curve where well-being dips in midlife and then increases again in later old age. However, this trend may not continue into the oldest-old age group (past 85 years old) where physical and cognitive decline may lead to lower levels of well-being.
