Resumo(s)

This study examines the Quality of Life (QOL) of 374 individuals from a generational perspective. Using a nonexperimental design and multiple regression analyses, the results indicated that social support is the highest preditor of QOL for all generations. As for specific generational groups, in addition to social support, income was observed as a QOL predictor for young adults; marital status was a significant predictor for the middleaged adults, and income emerged as the important predictor for older adults. These results offer valuable insights for the planning and implementation of Intergenerational Education Programs with the aim of increasing QOL across adulthood.
