Note. We also included a control for period effects (i.e., a continuous variable indicating the calendar year in which the respondent completed a given age) in all three models; Interaction terms that were statistically significant (p < .05) were retained in the final model;

^*p < .05,

^**p < .001.

^aMeasures of Life Satisfaction and CES-D have been standardized (M=0, SD=1).
