Previous research has shown that as people transition to retirement they display heterogeneous growth in outcomes. Typically three subgroups are observed, in which people either increase, decrease, or maintain their scores over time. Extending this research, this study investigates whether subgroups exist independent of the retirement event and compares growth in two outcome measures--retirement adjustment and life satisfaction. Survey data were collected from 360 retirees across three time points. For life satisfaction, growth mixture modeling identified three distinctly growing subgroups. The majority maintained their scores over time, and two smaller groups showed increases and decreases in life satisfaction over time. No subgroups were identified for retirement adjustment. Implications of these results are discussed and suggestions are made for future research.
先前的研究表明，随着人们过渡到退休阶段，他们在各项结果上呈现出不同的增长情况。通常会观察到三个亚组，其中人们的分数会随着时间的推移而增加、减少或保持不变。本研究扩展了这项研究，调查是否存在独立于退休事件的亚组，并比较了两个结果指标的增长情况——退休适应和生活满意度。在三个时间点收集了360名退休人员的调查数据。对于生活满意度，增长混合模型识别出三个明显不同的增长亚组。大多数人随着时间的推移保持他们的分数，另外两个较小的组随着时间的推移生活满意度出现了增加和减少。未识别出退休适应方面的亚组。讨论了这些结果的含义，并对未来的研究提出了建议。
