A fully recursive path model heuristically depicting a causative chain between financial situation, health satisfaction, satisfaction with standard of living, satisfaction with family life, and satisfaction with life as a whole was examined. The model was evaluated via path analysis, with parallel analyses conducted for each sex. The data used in this analysis were collected from a national probability sample of persons aged 18 and over living in noninstitutional dwelling units. This present study includes only those persons 65 years and older (N = 301). The model was shown to be an effective predictor of satisfaction with life for each sex. Satisfaction with family was found to make the greatest single impact on life satisfaction. Moreover, the model was determined to be generally consistent throughout.
研究考察了一个完全递归路径模型，该模型以启发式方式描绘了财务状况、健康满意度、生活水平满意度、家庭生活满意度和总体生活满意度之间的因果链。通过路径分析对该模型进行评估，并对每个性别进行了平行分析。本分析中使用的数据来自居住在非机构居住单位的18岁及以上人群的全国概率样本。本研究仅包括65岁及以上的人群（N = 301）。结果表明，该模型是每个性别的生活满意度的有效预测指标。研究发现，家庭满意度对生活满意度的单一影响最大。此外，该模型在整体上被确定为基本一致。
