      <dc:description>The aim of this research was to compare the quality of life among University of the Third&#xd;
Age (U3A) students in Poland, where a novel method of educating seniors is being developed, with&#xd;
the quality of life among students at newly established U3As in Belarus and Ukraine, which have&#xd;
copied the Polish model. The research was also conducted to connect a range of socio-demographic&#xd;
variables with two explanatory ones: satisfaction with participation in U3A activities and the overall&#xd;
quality of life. A total of 515 U3A (N13) students from three Eastern European countries—Poland,&#xd;
Ukraine, and Belarus—took part in the research. The overall quality of life of U3A students was&#xd;
researched and expressed in the form of three components: stress level, sense of self-efficacy, and level&#xd;
of satisfaction with life. The following tools were used: PPS10 (Perceived Stress Scale), GSES (General&#xd;
Self-Efficacy Scale), and SWLS (Satisfaction with Life Scale). The research showed a statistically&#xd;
significant difference between the country of residence and the level of satisfaction with life, sense of&#xd;
self-efficacy, and the overall indicator of the quality of life. Polish seniors obtained higher results in&#xd;
all these areas when compared to their counterparts in Ukraine and Belarus.</dc:description>
