| Annotation | Older Americans from senior centres and several housing environments volunteered to complete a questionnaire or interview about a number of aspects of their everyday lives. Objective activity participation and subjective time use and friend quality were associated with positive affect (PA). Only time was related to depression. The importance of assessing both amount of behaviour (objective) and its quality (subjective) when measuring quality of life (QOL), was demonstrated. Although external engagement bears a closer relationship to PA than to negative, the dual-channel model relating locus of stimulation differentially to PA and depression requires modification.
