Povzetek: Namen pričujoče študije je raziskati, kako slovenski starejši odrasli (N = 84; 51 žensk in 33 moških, starih od 65 do 91 let) preživljajo svoj čas in kaj doživljajo preko naključnega dneva. Poleg tega je bil cilj preučiti tudi morebiten prispevek teh dejavnosti in njihovega doživljanja na subjektivno blagostanje starejših. Z uporabo Metode obnovitve dneva so udeleženci poročali, koliko časa v preteklem dnevu so se vključevali v posamezne dejavnosti, ocenili raven hedonskih (prisotnost pozitivnega in odsotnost negativnega čustvovanja) in eudaimonskih (smisel, osredotočenost, koristnost) izkušenj med vsako dejavnostjo ter ovrednotili splošno zadovoljstvo s tem dnevom. Udeleženci so nato poročali tudi o svojem splošnem čustvenem, psihološkem in socialnem blagostanju. Rezultati so pokazali ogromne medosebne razlike tako v rabi časa kot tudi v subjektivnem doživljanju različnih dejavnosti. Na splošno so se določene dejavnosti povezovale z blagostanjem starejših odraslih, čeprav rezultati nakazujejo, da je subjektivno doživljanje dejavnosti pomembnejše kot dejavnosti same.
Ključne besede: pozna odraslost, metoda obnovitve dneva, eudaimonske izkušnje, hedonske izkušnje, blagostanje
