Abstract
Experience sampling was used to characterize thought in everyday life from adult participants across the lifespan. Thought factors were identified along with a measure of psychological well-being (PWB). A mediation analysis revealed that optimistic/constructive thinking explains approximately 50% of the direct effect of age on PWB.
