Resumo: | Introduction: Older lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT+) adults have been mainly studied in relation to stigma and mental and physical disorders. Understanding their satisfaction with life, along with their generative expression, is crucial in building healthy aging. This study examined the satisfaction with life of Spanish older LGBT+ adults, considering the role of generativity. Methods: Data were gathered online; 141 Spanish LGBT+ people completed the Loyola Generativity Scale (LGS), Generative Behaviour Checklist (GBC), and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Data were analysed through descriptive, nonparametric tests, and correlational statistics. A multivariable linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the SWLS and the other scales, including social and demographic variables as covariates. Results: Satisfaction with life and generativity are positively associated to (i) disclosure in all areas of life, (ii) perceived support in the disclosure process, (iii) (daily) participation in social activities, and (iv) higher in women, (v) in those who have a partner, and (vi) who have children. The multivariable regression model explained 32.6% of the variance in SWLS. The SWLS increased with generativity confidence and behaviours of collaboration and care. Conclusions: Satisfaction with life and generativity are promoted by disclosure in all areas of life, and perceived support in the disclosure process. Policy Implications: Social policies and programs should (i) encourage LGBT+ individuals’ disclosure and support them in this process, probably by creating safe and supportive environments; (ii) promote LGBT+ older adults’ social participation, namely in terms of volunteering and mentoring. |

Understanding their satisfaction with life, along with their generative expression, is crucial in building healthy aging. This study examined the satisfaction with life of Spanish older LGBT+ adults, considering the role of generativity.

A multivariable linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the SWLS and the other scales, including social and demographic variables as covariates.
