Overview of data collected in the German Socioeconomic Panel (SOEP) Study, as used in the present study. The SOEP data collection of well-being began in 1984 and continued through 2009, with a total of 26 annual waves. Perceived control was assessed three times between 1994 and 1996. Participants included in our study died between 1994 and 2009, as obtained by the yearly tracking of information about mortality status and time of death. In the current report, we used well-being and mortality information to estimate late-life trajectories of well-being and examined the moderating role of perceived personal control.
