We examined the role of self-efficacy, social support, optimism, and mental health in the prediction of happiness in the elderly. Moderated mediation analyses confirmed a full mediation in which self-efficacy, through perceived mental health and moderated by social support, predicts happiness moderated, in turn, by optimism. When an elder is self-efficacious, his or her mental well-being seems more likely to be improved and translated into enhanced happiness when social support and optimism are moderate to high. We provide preliminary results on the interplay of these psychosocial resources in improving subjective well-being that may help in designing tailored interventions for promoting happiness in late adulthood.
我们研究了自我效能感、社会支持、乐观主义和心理健康在预测老年人幸福感方面的作用。调节中介分析证实了一种完全中介效应，即自我效能感通过感知到的心理健康起作用，并受到社会支持的调节，进而由乐观主义调节来预测幸福感。当老年人具有自我效能感时，在社会支持和乐观主义处于中高水平的情况下，其心理健康状况似乎更有可能得到改善并转化为更强的幸福感。我们提供了关于这些心理社会资源在改善主观幸福感方面相互作用的初步结果，这可能有助于设计针对性的干预措施，以促进老年人的幸福感。
