The purpose of this study is to find out effects of intergenerational support exchange on successful aging using the second year data of ’Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging’. The subjects of this study are 4,040 seniors who are older than 65 years old. The key findings from the study are summarized as follow. First, ’mutual support relationship value’ and ’one-sided support relationship value’ affect on successful aging positively. Second, when we analyse sub-dimensions of successful aging, ’mutual support relationship value’ is statistically significant to success on physical function(+), productive activity(+), life satisfaction(+). Third, ’one-sided acceptance relationship value’ affects significantly on only life satisfaction among 4 dimensions. Fourth, ’one-sided support relationship value’ is statistically significant to success on psychological function(+), productive activity(+), life satisfaction(+). Finally, ’non-exchange relationship value’ affects significantly on sub-dimensions of successful aging : productive activity(+), life satisfaction(-). This study shows that the life style of a senior citizen not as a beneficiary but as a contributor who can share one’s own capability and resources improves the possibility of a successful aging.
