In this research, the authors investigated the specific and shared impact of personal resources and selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) life-management strategies (A. M. Freund & P. B. Baltes, 2002) on subjective well-being. Life-management strategies were expected to be most relevant when resources were constrained, particularly in very old age. In Study 1 (N=156, 71-91 years), age-differential predictive patterns supported this assumption: Young-old individuals' well-being was predicted independently by resources and SOC, whereas SOC buffered the effect of restricted resources in old-old individuals. Study 2 replicated the findings longitudinally with resource-poor and resource-rich older individuals (N=42). In both studies, specific SOC strategies were differentially adaptive. Results confirm that resources are important determinants of well-being but that life-management strategies have a considerable protective effect with limited resources.
在本研究中，作者调查了个人资源以及选择、优化和补偿（SOC）生活管理策略（A.M.弗罗因德和P.B.巴尔特斯，2002年）对主观幸福感的特定影响和共同影响。当资源受到限制时，尤其是在高龄阶段，生活管理策略预计最为相关。在研究1（N = 156，年龄71 - 91岁）中，年龄差异预测模式支持了这一假设：年轻老年人的幸福感由资源和SOC独立预测，而SOC缓冲了年老老年人有限资源的影响。研究2对资源匮乏和资源丰富的老年人（N = 42）进行了纵向重复研究。在两项研究中，特定的SOC策略具有不同的适应性。结果证实，资源是幸福感的重要决定因素，但生活管理策略在资源有限时具有相当大的保护作用。
