The authors developed a model of relationships between two enduring attributes (educational attainment and negative affect) and two indicators of successful aging (health and life satisfaction).
A probability sample of 1,177 participants (age 55 and older) were interviewed four times at 6-month intervals. Structural equation models were developed based on the authors' hypothetical model proposing a mediating effect of negative affect between health and successful aging.
As predicted, education and negative affect both were directly related to health and life satisfaction. Also, as predicted, negative affect mediated the relationship between education and successful aging indicators.
Education appears to confer a lifelong advantage for healthy aging. Part of this advantage is accounted for by the relationship between education and trait negative affect. Higher educational attainment is related to lower levels of trait negative affect; lower negative affect results in better health and life satisfaction.
作者建立了两个持久属性（教育程度和消极情绪）与两个成功老龄化指标（健康和生活满意度）之间关系的模型。
对1177名参与者（年龄在55岁及以上）进行概率抽样，每隔6个月进行4次访谈。基于作者提出的消极情绪在健康与成功老龄化之间起中介作用的假设模型，建立结构方程模型。
正如预测的那样，教育和消极情绪都与健康和生活满意度直接相关。同样，正如预测的那样，消极情绪介导了教育与成功老龄化指标之间的关系。
教育似乎为健康老龄化带来终身优势。这种优势的一部分可由教育与特质消极情绪之间的关系来解释。较高的教育程度与较低水平的特质消极情绪相关；较低的消极情绪会带来更好的健康和生活满意度。
