Pinquart and Schindler (2007) found that retirees could be divided into three groups according to their satisfaction with retirement and various other factors. Describe these three groups.
What will be an ideal response?
1. Most satisfied with retirement: Maintained leisure activities and other activities not related to work as sources of life satisfaction, or replaced work with more satisfying activities; retired at a typical retirement age and had a wealth of resources to compensate for the loss of work; married, in good health, and of high socioeconomic status.
2. Moderately satisfied with retirement: The majority of the second group retired at a later age and tended to be female.
3. Least satisfied with retirement: The majority of the third group retired at a younger age and tended to be male. They were in poorer health, less likely to be married, and lower in socioeconomic status than the first group. The third group also had spotty employment records.
