Although aging well socially (engagement with life) is as important as aging well personally (illness avoidance and functioning) (Rowe & Kahn, 1998), it has received less research attention. A caring (CE) and a productive (PE) form of engagement were derived from an analysis of Chinese cultural meanings of engagement, and combined with illness avoidance and functioning to form a 4-factor model. Confirmatory factor analysis based on 2970 Hong Kong Chinese (40 to 74 years) showed a good model fit that was replicated a year later with 2120 of the original sample. Further analysis led to a more parsimonious model where illness avoidance and functioning converged into a single second-order factor whereas CE and PE remained as distinct first-order factors. The results supported the differentiation of Rowe and Kahn's engagement with life component into caring and productive engagements.
尽管良好的社会老龄化（参与生活）与良好的个人老龄化（避免疾病和保持功能）同样重要（罗威和卡恩，1998年），但它受到的研究关注较少。通过对参与的中国文化含义进行分析，得出了一种关怀性参与（CE）和生产性参与（PE）形式，并将其与避免疾病和保持功能相结合，形成了一个四因素模型。基于2970名香港华人（40至74岁）的验证性因素分析显示模型拟合良好，一年后对2120名原始样本进行重复验证。进一步分析得出了一个更简洁的模型，其中避免疾病和保持功能合并为一个单一的二阶因素，而CE和PE仍作为不同的一阶因素。研究结果支持将罗威和卡恩的生活参与成分区分为关怀性参与和生产性参与。
