This study was examined the relations of uses of primary and secondary control and psychological well-being according to controllability of situations. 62 college students and 51 aged people checked how much they used the primary or secondary control with OPS scale and how often they felt the positive or negative emotions in controllable and uncontrollable situations. Also the subjects reported how much they were satisfied with their life. The results were as follows: First, aged people used both primary and second control more than college students in uncontrollable situations. Second, the more uses of primary and secondary control in controllable situation positively correlated with life satisfaction in both college students and aged people. In uncontrollable situation, the correlational pattern was similar to that of in controllable situation in college students but not in aged people. Finally, it showed that top 25% college students using primary or secondary control in controllable situation reported more positive emotion and greater life satisfaction than bottom 25%. The similar pattern appeared in aged people in controllable situation. On the contrary, in uncontrollable situation, top 25% using secondary control only in both college students and aged people reported more positive emotion than bottom 25%. The findings suggested that both college students and aged people are adjustable when they use primary and secondary control flexibly according to perceived controllability of situation.
