The impact of positive psychological attitudes on physical health and healthy aging has been well documented through research. This study assessed whether a therapeutic recreation program specifically addressing happiness and humor could promote life satisfaction among older adults. The Happiness and Humor Group was a 10-week program conducted once a week at an urban senior center. The Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS) was administered as a pretest and posttest to 15 people who participated in the entire program. Scores from this self-rated assessment showed significant improvement in life satisfaction for the program participants. Anecdotal evidence also shows participants' outlook changed significantly as a result of program participation. An overview of the Happiness and Humor Group program is provided as a model that can be replicated in senior centers. |
