This study examined psychological and social factors related to life satisfaction in middle-aged and older Black adults (n = 93). Participants completed surveys on life satisfaction, self-reported physical health, depressive symptoms, and personality. Better life satisfaction was associated with better physical health, lower depressive symptoms, higher agreeableness, higher conscientiousness, and lower neuroticism. These results highlight the need to explore determinants and successful aging outcomes of life satisfaction across Black populations.
