ABSTRACT
This study examined the relationships of subjective health, personality traits, happiness and death attitude with the Korean elderly(60-89years). ANOVA and trend analysis revealed elderly men, compared with elderly women, the sixties, compared with the eighties had better subjective health. And subjective health changes negatively with age. Also subjective health for the elderly women was more greatly influenced by background variables than for the elderly men. In relation to the personality traits and happiness, older adults with better subjective health tended to be more extraverted, optimistic, and happier than their counterparts. In addition, extraverted or optimistic older adults and older adults with good subjective health had more neutral acceptance of death. Path analysis suggested extraversion or optimism had influences indirectly through subjective health on happiness or death attitude as well as personality traits or subjective health directly on that.
