There are few limitations in the course of the study that are worthy of note. The sample size adopted in the study may not portray a true representation of older adults in communities in Oyo State. There is therefore a need for caution in the use of the findings of the study in a larger population. The inability of the researcher to control participants recruited for the study is another important limitation. Older adults lacking social support in terms of mobility and financial assistance could not make it to the study venue thereby increasing attrition rate recorded during the study. Regardless of these limitations, the findings of this study however, produced the following conclusions: Laughter therapy was effective in managing geriatric depression among community dwelling older adults. Health control of control moderated the effect of treatment of geriatric depression of rural community dwellers, while personality trait did not.
