The aim of this study was to explore the differences in healthiness and life satisfaction in first generation and second generation of Kashmiri migrants. A mixed sample of 100 subjects was taken, out of which 50 was of first generation and 50 of second generation. First generation subjects belonged to an age group of 45 to 60 years and second generation subjects belonged to an age group of 21 to 25 years. Leddy Healthiness Scale (Leddy, 1996) and Satisfaction with life scale (Diener, 1985) were used to measure the above variables. The data was analyzed by using t-test. Results revealed that second generation migrants had higher healthiness and life satisfaction than first generation migrants.
