In phase III, Subjective well beingness was assessed on the experimental group after the one month intervention yoga program. Results revealed that majority of the elderly were living in the joint family system in rural area in comparison to urban area. Subjective well beingness was assessed by using subjective well-being inventory by Nagpal and Sell. The results elucidated that „expectation-achievement congrence‟ is the factor which showed maximum gain in well-beingness in rural subjects whereas urban respondents in „family group support‟. The results found that factors like „general well-being positive affect‟, „confidence in coping‟, „social support‟ and „inadequate mental mastery‟ showed high positive significant association with age, education and family occupation.
