Abstract
Positive social and psychological appraisals may help maintain well-being in illness, but few studies have
systematically investigated this in a European context. After controlling for sociodemographic, health and
objective social factors, we employed multilevel regression modelling to establish if appraisals predict wellbeing
in three illness groups (n = 10,577). In addition to health and financial status, positive appraisals were
consistent predictors of well-being. Social appraisals had stronger associations with well-being than extent of
social contact. Optimism and resilience appeared more important in those limited by health than those who
were not. Findings may inform interventions aimed at supporting people coping with illness.
