N2  - The aim of this study is to describe and understand the relation between perceptions of Dutch elderly on their remaining length of life and social well-being. The secondary data used for this quantitative study is obtained from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam data collection. Both multinomial and binary logistic regression was applied to measure the relationship between perceptions on remaining length of life and social well-being. A large part of the respondents reported to have positive perceptions on their remaining length of life. It resulted that Dutch elderly who are not lonely are less likely as elderly who are severe lonely to have positive perceptions on remaining length of life. Severe lonely elderly tend to have the most positive perceptions on remaining length of life. We tend to explain this by theories on coping. Elderly can tackle their feelings of loneliness by the use of several types of coping strategies.
