This study investigates the effects of charitable giving on the life satisfaction of older Korean adults, examining the moderating role of relationship satisfaction and social trust, as the indicators for social capital.
Nationally representative sample of individuals aged 65 to100 ( = 8,359) from the 2019 Social Survey was used for the analyses.
The results from Coarsened Exact Matching and Structural Equation Modeling show that charitable giving positively affects older Korean adults' life satisfaction. Moreover, the results of moderation analyses suggest that the effects of charitable giving on life satisfaction are stronger for those with lower levels of relationship satisfaction and social trust.
The results imply that social capital, such as relationship satisfaction or social trust, needs to be taken into consideration when exploring the effects of charitable giving in later life.
本研究考察了慈善捐赠对韩国老年人生活满意度的影响，检验了关系满意度和社会信任（作为社会资本的指标）的调节作用。
利用 2019 年社会调查中年龄在 65 至 100 岁的个体（n=8359）的全国代表性样本进行分析。
粗化精确匹配和结构方程模型的结果表明，慈善捐赠对韩国老年人的生活满意度有积极影响。此外，调节分析的结果表明，对于关系满意度和社会信任较低的老年人，慈善捐赠对生活满意度的影响更大。
研究结果表明，在探索晚年慈善捐赠的影响时，需要考虑社会资本，如关系满意度或社会信任。
