The present study explored the moderating effects of household income on the relationship between cognitive social capital and subjective well-being in rural community-dwelling older adults in China. The data were derived from a rural community survey conducted in Liaoyuan City in China's Jilin Province in 2019. The analytic model featured 458 respondents who completed the survey. We used multiple group analyses to test the hypotheses. A latent construct of cognitive social capital was built using social trust and reciprocity indicators. The results showed that household income had a significant moderating effect on the association between cognitive social capital and life satisfaction, but not on the relationship between cognitive social capital and depressive symptoms. Thus, household income and cognitive social capital should be used to assess subjective well-being in older populations. Older adults with low household income deserve particular attention in the design of future social capital policies and programs.
本研究探讨了家庭收入对中国农村社区居住老年人认知社会资本与主观幸福感之间关系的调节作用。数据来源于2019年在中国吉林省辽源市进行的一项农村社区调查。分析模型纳入了458名完成调查的受访者。我们使用多组分析来检验假设。利用社会信任和互惠指标构建了认知社会资本的潜在结构。结果表明，家庭收入对认知社会资本与生活满意度之间的关联具有显著的调节作用，但对认知社会资本与抑郁症状之间的关系没有调节作用。因此，家庭收入和认知社会资本应用于评估老年人群的主观幸福感。在未来社会资本政策和项目的设计中，家庭收入低的老年人值得特别关注。
