Recent findings on retirement preparation found a positive impact on the psychological and physical well-being of retirees. However, the types of mental resources that are driving the relationship, such as attitudes toward retirement, only received limited attention. Reasoning from previous findings, we posit that attitudes toward retirement would explain the relationship between retirement preparation and well-being over time after retirement. A three-wave study was conducted in a sample of 130 Hong Kong Chinese retirees over a period of 1.5 years. Data were collected 6 months prior to retirement (T1) and 6 and 12 months after retirement (T2 and T3, respectively), in which preretirement preparation, attitudes toward retirement, and psychological and physical well-being were measured. The positive effect of T1 retirement planning on T3 physical and psychological well-being was partially mediated by T2 attitudes toward retirement. These results remain significant even after controlling for gender, education level, preretirement occupation, and well-being at T1. These findings reveal the role of attitudes toward retirement in driving postretirement adjustment over time.
最近关于退休准备的研究发现，退休准备对退休人员的心理和身体健康有积极影响。然而，推动这种关系的心理资源类型，如对退休的态度，只受到了有限的关注。基于先前的研究结果，我们假设对退休的态度会解释退休准备与退休后一段时间内幸福感之间的关系。在一个为期 1.5 年的香港中国退休人员样本中进行了一项三波研究。在退休前 6 个月（T1）、退休后 6 个月（T2）和 12 个月（T3）分别收集数据，测量了退休前准备、对退休的态度以及心理和身体健康。T1 退休计划对 T3 身体和心理幸福感的积极影响部分由 T2 对退休的态度所中介。即使在控制了性别、教育程度、退休前职业和 T1 的幸福感后，这些结果仍然显著。这些发现揭示了对退休的态度在推动退休后调整方面的作用。
