Abstract

In a pilot study of 40 retirees, those who volunteered more than 10 hours per week scored significantly higher on the Purpose In Life test than those who volunteered 10 or fewer hours per week. A significant negative correlation of -.75 was obtained between scores on purpose in life and boredom proneness.
