This study aimed to classify clusters of the elderly in terms of dimension self-determined solitude and loneliness and examine differences in cognitive emotion regulation and satisfaction with life across clusters. A total of 315 elderly completed the Self-determined Motivation for Solitude scale(SDS), the Rivised UCLA Loneliness Scale(RULS), Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(CERQ), Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS). The data were used for cluster analysis, ANOVA, and post-hoc verification. The finding of the analysis yielded four clusters: ‘sociable group’ with low solitude and loneliness, ‘loneliness group’ with low solitude and high loneliness, ‘voluntary solitude group’ with high solitude and low loneliness, and ‘aversive solitude group’ with high solitude and loneliness, These groups showed significant differences in cognitive emotion regulation and satisfaction with life across clusters. Implications and limitations, and suggestions for future studies were presented.
