AnnotationSubjective well-being (SWB) is at the centre of much ageing research, due to its relationship to such important outcomes as health, morbidity and successful ageing. This paper discusses essential problems associated with its definition, measurement and dimensionality. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were computed for data from the Interdisciplinary Longitudinal Study of Adult Development (conducted in two large cities in east and west Germany, Leipzig and Heidelberg, between late 1993 and early 1996), to assess whether SWB is a unidimensional or a multidimensional construct. Results suggest that SWB is unidimensional. (RH).
