Separation and divorce are life events that might alter life satisfaction on the long term. Previous literature suggests a recovery of life satisfaction after marital dissolution for most individuals, simultaneously emphasizing considerable heterogeneity in the extent and timing of such adaptation. A new partnership seems to be a promising factor for a positive post-separation adjustment process. At the same time, the question arises whether people with beneficial characteristics, such as higher trait resilience, may have a double advantage by recovering faster and being more likely to find a new partner. However, little research has concurrently investigated the consequences of repartnering and favorable personal attributes on life satisfaction of middle- and older-aged people, especially not beyond the initial recovery period. Our data stem from a three-wave longitudinal questionnaire study including 199 participants after a separation, all single at the beginning of the study. Latent growth modeling was applied to investigate trajectories of life satisfaction, examining the role of a new intimate partnership, while controlling for trait resilience. Trait resilience represented a strong general predictor for inter-individual differences in the initial level of life satisfaction. However, an increase in life satisfaction over time was only observed in the group of participants who engaged in a new partnership. This increase occurred independently of preexisting differences in beneficial characteristics, such as high levels of trait resilience or life satisfaction. Thus, repartnering is associated with improvement of life satisfaction beyond the first adaptation phase after separation and is therefore important to prevent long-term negative consequences.

分居和离婚后生活满意度的变化和轨迹

分居和离婚是生活事件,从长远来看可能会改变生活满意度。先前的文献表明,对于大多数人来说,婚姻解散后的生活满意度会恢复,同时强调这种适应的程度和时机上的巨大异质性。建立新的伙伴关系似乎是积极的分离后调整过程的一个有希望的因素。同时,出现了一个问题,即具有较高回弹力等有益特征的人是否可以通过更快地恢复并更有可能找到新的伴侣而具有双重优势。但是,很少有研究同时调查过重新伙伴关系和有利的个人属性对中老年人的生活满意度的影响,尤其是在最初的恢复期之后。我们的数据来自三波纵向问卷调查研究,其中包括分离后的199名参与者,在研究开始时都是单身。潜在增长模型被用于调查生活满意度的轨迹,检查新的亲密伙伴关系的作用,同时控制性格适应力。特质韧性是生活满意度初始水平中个体间差异的强有力的一般预测因子。但是,随着时间的推移,生活满意度的提高仅出现在参与新伙伴关系的参与者群体中。这种增加的发生独立于有益特征的预先存在的差异,例如高水平的性格适应力或生活满意度。因此,
