The purpose of the study was to explore the nature of the relationship between Divergent Thinking and Well-being. Two theoretical models about the relationship between Divergent thinking, Psychological well-being and Life Satisfaction were tested. A total of 152 subjects between 65 and 84 years old participated in the study. Final model emphasises the idea that PWB is affected by DT and that PWB is also significantly related to LS. The model also highlights the importance of four dimensions of well-being: environmental mastery, life purpose, personal growth and self-acceptance. The goodness-of-fit indexes confirmed the existence of a significant relationship between DT and well-being, and between the latter and life satisfaction. Nevertheless, the final model did not confirm a direct link between DT and life satisfaction, only an indirect relationship through psychological well-being. These results help to understand that successful living in older adulthood requires effort and personal investment. Intervention programs for the elderly should consider the promotion of DT skills through individual and group activities.

该研究的目的是探讨发散性思维与幸福之间关系的本质。测试了关于发散思维，心理健康和生活满意度之间关系的两个理论模型。共有152名年龄在65至84岁之间的受试者参加了这项研究。最终模型强调了PWB受DT影响并且PWB也与LS显着相关的想法。该模型还强调了幸福的四个方面的重要性：掌握环境，生活目的，个人成长和自我接纳。拟合优度指数证实了DT与幸福之间，以及后者与生活满意度之间存在显着关系。不过，最终模型并未证实DT与生活满意度之间存在直接联系，只是通过心理健康的间接关系。这些结果有助于理解，成年后成功生活需要付出努力和个人投入。老年人干预计划应考虑通过个人和小组活动来提高DT技术。
