Religiosity and Subjective Well-Being of the Central and Eastern European ’s Elderly Population

AbstractThe paper examines the relation between religiosity and cognitive appraisal of the subjective well-being of the Central and Eastern European ’s elderly population. The first part of the paper is dedicated to examining of the scientific literature. In the second part, the authors explore the data basis corresponding to the 6th wave of World Value Survey. The authors use the heterogeneous correlation and the multi-linear regression analy sis in order to explain the relation between religiosity and subjective well-being of the old aged. Our results suggest that in the case of the Central Eastern European elderly satisfaction with life is mostly influenced by health and income. It is likely that for Central and Eastern European’s el ders religious practices do not sufficiently influence their life satisfaction.
