This study conceptualizes the dimensions of older adults' self-efficacy and identifies its determinants by using panel data collected by the National Pension Research Institute in Korea. The analysis supported the conceptualization of older people's self-efficacy as a multidimensional construct and found strong support for the three subscales. For older adults in Korea, general self-efficacy was condensed into a sense of competence. Older adults' social self-efficacy was delineated into two subscales: inward social self-efficacy and interactive social self-efficacy. Inward social self-efficacy could be characterized as a set of inward-looking social capabilities, whereas interactive self-efficacy could be considered as a set of relation-oriented capabilities with various groups of individuals. Of the three regression models representing dimensions of older people's self-efficacy, each model uncovered its own set of variables that played a decisive role in perceived self-efficacy. Demographic variables were more effective determinants of older adults' self-efficacy than socioeconomic factors.
本研究通过使用韩国国家养老金研究所收集的面板数据，对老年人自我效能感的维度进行了概念化，并确定了其决定因素。分析支持了将老年人自我效能感概念化为多维结构的观点，并为三个子量表提供了有力支持。对于韩国的老年人来说，一般自我效能感浓缩为一种能力感。老年人的社会自我效能感被划分为两个子量表：内向型社会自我效能感和互动型社会自我效能感。内向型社会自我效能感可以被描述为一组内向型的社会能力，而互动型自我效能感可以被视为一组与不同个体群体相关的关系导向能力。在代表老年人自我效能感维度的三个回归模型中，每个模型都发现了一组在感知自我效能感中起决定性作用的变量。人口统计学变量比社会经济因素更能有效决定老年人的自我效能感。
