Six age groups were compared with respect to discrepancy between real and ideal self concepts and the relationship between life satisfaction and discrepancy in self concepts. The subjects, ranging in age from 20 to 75 years, completed two self descriptive adjective rating scales which assessed real and ideal self concept and a life satisfaction index. Significant differences were found among age groups for real and ideal self concepts, life satisfaction, and discrepancy between real and ideal self concept scores. Age was significantly correlated with real and ideal self concept, discrepancy between real and ideal self concepts and life satisfaction. Life satisfaction was significantly correlated with real self concept and discrepancy between real and ideal self concepts. Trends in the data suggested that the younger subjects (20-25 years) had lower real and ideal self ratings and were less satisfied with their lives than the elderly subjects (60-75 years).
就真实自我概念与理想自我概念之间的差异以及生活满意度与自我概念差异之间的关系，对六个年龄组进行了比较。研究对象年龄在20岁至75岁之间，他们完成了两个自我描述形容词评定量表，这两个量表分别评估真实自我概念和理想自我概念，以及一个生活满意度指数。在年龄组之间，真实自我概念、理想自我概念、生活满意度以及真实自我概念得分与理想自我概念得分之间的差异均具有显著性。年龄与真实自我概念、理想自我概念、真实自我概念与理想自我概念之间的差异以及生活满意度均显著相关。生活满意度与真实自我概念以及真实自我概念与理想自我概念之间的差异显著相关。数据趋势表明，较年轻的研究对象（20 - 25岁）的真实自我评定和理想自我评定较低，且对生活的满意度低于年长的研究对象（60 - 75岁）。
