"The aim of this study is to measure life satisfaction ofeiders and to examine the impact of social support on lifesatisfaction. Diener and Biswas Diener (ZOUI) mentioned that in ahuman nature approach, having one is biological needs mer,engaging in interesting activities, and having the presence of socialsupport are seen as necessary and sufficient for high subjectivewell-being (S WB). Whereas life satisfaction is one of SWB'components, this theory has been used in this research. Effects ofinstrumental, informational, emotional, and appraisal support onlife satisfaction of eiders in Iran were tested by analyzing datacollected from a random sample of 384 persons aged 65 and overwho participated in the spring of 2007 survey. The mean of lifesatisfaction in sample obtained 16.5 with standard deviation of3.49. Multiple regression (stepwise) was used to determine whethersocial support (also entered demographic variables in regression)influence elder's life satisfaction. Findings reveal that appraisalsupport (adequacy of support or the degree of satisfaction withsupport from children and relatives) directly improves elder lifesatisfaction (RJ= 0.883 and Beta= (1438). There was a relationshipbetween emotion, instrumental and informational support, age,number of children and education with life satisfaction of elders.The results show psychological importance and benefits of socialsupport. This research suggests that because of these benefits ofsocial support, policy makers, beside making policies with thepropose to improve elder's welfare should also have to reinforcetraditional culture."
