| Annotation | Panel data from the National Survey of Black Americans was used to examine differences in African Americans' quality of life (QoL) between 1979 and 1990. Of particular interest was the role of the hope dimension of personal efficacy in accounting for variance in general well-being, beyond that contributed by social demographic and economic indicators. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that hope and family satisfaction in 1980 consistently accounted for significant amounts of variance in general life satisfaction in the 1992 fourth wave of data for all three cohorts. For older respondents, increased frequency of contact with friends and family help were the most important contributions to high satisfaction. Family satisfaction and contact with friends were the most important contribution to life satisfaction for all age cohorts. (RH). |
