The present study intends to explore the influence of education on the mental health of retired people and the mediating role of a leisure attitude in this relationship.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY: The sample was simple random, and a confidentiality agreement was established. The sample was composed of 403 Portuguese participants (37.2% male; 62.8% female). The participants completed the MHI and the LAS.
The hypothesized mediation model showed that a leisure attitude mediated the association between education and well-being. In addition, higher levels of distress were found in participants with higher levels of education.
Our results suggest that old-aged people with high education and a more positive leisure attitude have a better psychological adjustment concerning well-being. Also, a higher level of education can lead to a better perception of aging changes (physical, life, profession).
本研究旨在探讨教育对退休人员心理健康的影响以及休闲态度在这种关系中的中介作用。
设计/方法：样本为简单随机抽样，并签订了保密协议。样本由403名葡萄牙参与者组成（男性占37.2%；女性占62.8%）。参与者完成了心理健康指数（MHI）和休闲态度量表（LAS）。
假设的中介模型表明，休闲态度在教育与幸福感之间起中介作用。此外，受教育程度较高的参与者的苦恼程度也较高。
我们的研究结果表明，受过高等教育且休闲态度更积极的老年人在幸福感方面具有更好的心理调适能力。此外，较高的教育水平可以使人对衰老变化（身体、生活、职业方面）有更好的认知。
