Understanding the conditions of the ageing process accompanied by high standard of life demands to look more deeply at the elderly functioning in the context of their activity. Other important elements of life satisfaction within this life period can be individual and personal features, and self-esteem is among them. The aim is to establish if mentioned qualities are significant regarding life quality of the 55+ group age tested. This research was conducted among the participants of Third Age University. First step of the analysis was to check if and how the sample members are different in terms of their activity and self-esteem. As a result of a cluster analysis conducted on a sample two subgroups were specified, differing in terms of these qualities. The two groups were subsequently compared to each other in terms of their life quality in all four measured dimentions. The results show the existence of important statistically differences, which let us accept all the hypotheses.
