Abstract

This study examines the structural relationships among sociodemographic characteristics, health status, stress, psychological resources, and subjective well-being (SWB) among the Black elderly. A structural equation model of SWB was evaluated with data from the 1979-1980 National Survey of Black Americans. The results revealed that poor subjective health status was predictive of lower levels of personal efficacy and SWB. Stressful life events tended to depress subjective assessments of health and had negative effects on self-esteem and SWB. Marital status and age had positive effects on SWB. Chronic health conditions and other demographic variables, however, had indirect effects on SWB.

摘要

本研究考察了美国黑人老年人的社会人口学特征、健康状况、压力、心理资源和主观幸福感（SWB）之间的结构关系。利用1979 - 1980年美国黑人全国调查的数据对主观幸福感的结构方程模型进行了评估。结果显示，较差的主观健康状况预示着个人效能感和主观幸福感水平较低。生活压力事件往往会降低对健康的主观评价，并对自尊和主观幸福感产生负面影响。婚姻状况和年龄对主观幸福感有积极影响。然而，慢性健康状况和其他人口统计学变量对主观幸福感有间接影响。
