Sažetak
Data were collected from the first wave of a longitudinal research project on well-being and life events in Croatia (CRO-WELL project). The sample of adult Internet users was divided in three age groups: younger (N=2115, age 18-30 years), middle-aged (N=2517, age 31-54 years) and older (N=387, age 55-85 years) adults. Participants self-reported Life satisfaction, Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, and the frequency of positive and negative events occurring during the previous year. Younger adults reported more positive events than the other two groups, while no differences were found in the frequency of negative events. Positive and negative life events predicted life satisfaction in younger and middle age groups, but not in older participants. These results are in accordance with the socioemotional selectivity theory (Carstensen, 2006).
