The results of a replication study carried out in Kansas City in 1973 are compared with the original study in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1970 to see if the relationship between participation in voluntary associations and life satisfaction of the aged holds up over time and in a different geographic region. In a confirmation of the original study, the data indicate that health and status characteristics are more potent predictors of life satisfaction than participation in voluntary associations, which shows a nonsignificant relationship to life satisfaction when controlling for the effects of health and status.
1973年在堪萨斯城进行的一项重复研究结果，与1970年在俄亥俄州奥伯林进行的原始研究进行了比较，以考察参与志愿社团与老年人生活满意度之间的关系是否随时间推移以及在不同地理区域依然成立。作为对原始研究的一项验证，数据表明，健康和身份特征比参与志愿社团更能有力地预测生活满意度，在控制健康和身份的影响后，参与志愿社团与生活满意度之间的关系并不显著。
