A independent-sample t test was conducted to determine whether a sample of twenty-one residents of an assited living facility who participate in daily activities, scored higher on the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985) compared to the general population residents who opted out of daily activities. Figure 1 illustrates the distribution of the sample scores. The results indicate a significant difference between the group who attend daily activities (M=23.7, SD=8.7) and the group who do no participate in daily activities (M=15.8, SD=5.7) from the Satisfaction with Life Scale, t(19)= 2.5, p=.012. The 95% confidence interval for the difference ranges from 1.2 to 14.6 indicating a difference between the means. We therefore reject the null hypothesis that the sample of residents engaging in daily activities will score higher on the Satisfaction with Life Scale than residents who did not engage
