Statistical tests showed significant differences PA, between groups (P<0.05), no difference young (P>0.05). positively correlated especially elderly. Multivariate regression revealed that significantly predicts (F = 30.993, t 6.96, B 0.211) 86.85, 9.32, 0.004), explaining 4.4% 8.0% their variances, respectively.

In study, we aimed explore relations between and hedonic (HWB; subjective assessment life satisfaction happiness) eudaimonic (EWB; actualization human potential alignment with personal goals, including concepts like meaning closeness others) well‐being daily life. Method Using ecological momentary 4 weeks, data were collected from two British samples, comprising 82 adolescents 166 adults. Results Dynamic Structural Equation Modeling revealed HWB/EWB both levels across samples. Conclusion summary, these findings support link everyday Notably, association was consistent different age groups (adolescent adults) levels.
