The purpose of this study is to see whether measures of church-based and secular social support offset the effects of functional disability on change in feelings of personal control over time. Survey data were obtained from Wave 2 and Wave 3 of a nationwide sample of older adults (N = 583). The findings suggest that spiritual support from fellow church members offsets the effects of functional disability on change in feelings of personal control over time. In contrast, neither emotional support from fellow church members nor emotional support from secular social network members exerted a similar effect.
本研究的目的是探讨基于教会和世俗的社会支持措施是否能抵消功能残疾对个人控制感随时间变化的影响。调查数据来自全国范围内的老年人群样本(N = 583)的第2波和第3波。研究结果表明,教会成员提供的精神支持能抵消功能残疾对个人控制感随时间变化的影响。相比之下,教会成员提供的情感支持和世俗社交网络成员提供的情感支持均未产生类似效果。
