This study aims to offer a wider view on the role of coping strategies on elderly's well-being by means of literature-based competitive structural equation models (SEMs).
857 older adults were surveyed. Measures included Ryff's scales of Psychological Well-being and the Coping Strategies Questionnaire. Competitive SEMs were tested.
In the retained model, the religious coping dimension was removed, and the remaining dimensions were defined by problem- and emotion-focused coping, which explained both psychological and subjective well-being factors (χ(46) = 165.910, < 0.001; CFI = 0.906; GFI = 0.957; RMSEA = 0.058 [0.048,0.067]).
Results pointed to the relevance of coping strategies for achieving adequate well-being, with emotion-focused coping strategies being the ones with negative and highest predictive power over the two dimensions of well-being. Interventions aiming at improving old people's well-being should, put their focus on decreasing the use of emotion-coping strategies.
本研究旨在通过基于文献的竞争结构方程模型(SEM),更全面地了解应对策略对老年人幸福感的作用。
对857名老年人进行了调查。测量工具包括赖夫心理幸福感量表和应对策略问卷。对竞争SEM进行了检验。
在保留的模型中,宗教应对维度被剔除,其余维度由以问题为中心和以情绪为中心的应对方式定义,这两种应对方式解释了心理幸福感和主观幸福感因素(χ(46)=165.910,<0.001;CFI=0.906;GFI=0.957;RMSEA=0.058[0.048,0.067])。
结果表明应对策略对于实现充分幸福感具有重要意义,其中以情绪为中心的应对策略对幸福感的两个维度具有负面且最强的预测力。旨在提高老年人幸福感的干预措施应着重减少以情绪为中心的应对策略的使用。
