Attribution of faith as the secret to living a long and satisfying life
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the attribution of faith relative to patterns in life satisfaction among centenarians. Data for this investigation originated from N = 106 centenarians who participated in the Oklahoma 100 Year Life Project. Observation Oriented Modeling (OOM) was utilized to evaluate the patterns within life satisfaction data. Findings revealed no noticeable differences in life satisfaction of centenarians representing the two groups; those who attributed their longevity to faith and those who attributed their longevity to something other than faith. However, pattern change was evident over time. Those who attributed their longevity to faith reported an increase in life satisfaction over time. In comparison, those who attributed their longevity to something other than faith reported a decrease in life satisfaction. Interestingly, long-term survivors were exclusive to those who attributed their longevity to something other than faith. Results suggest that individual acknowledgment of faith as an attributed reason for living an exceptionally long time appears to have a connection to improved patterns of feeling satisfied with life. This may be particularly true among centenarians who are near the end-of-life. Implications for clergy, pastoral counselors, and faith-based ministers interacting with long-lived adults are highlighted.
