Notes: Data are from respondents who were at least 35 years old at T1 and who reported no functional limitations at T1 in the 1995−2005 National Survey of Midlife in the United States. All models included as covariates measures of respondents’ gender, race/ethnicity, household income, education, marital status, work status, parental status, religious participation, formal volunteering, social integration, and parental generosity, affection, and use of rules in respondents’ childhood.

^aScores on self-acceptance were standardized at the sample mean.

*p ≤ .05; **p ≤ .01; ***p ≤ .001 (two-tailed).
