Our study examined how lifestyle and number of children influence the relationship between widowhood and life satisfaction based on self-regulation theory. A sample of 2,968 elderly respondents (male = 1,515, female = 1,453, mean age = 69.12 years, = 7.24) participated in Chinese General Social Survey. Our findings suggest that lifestyle is positively related to life satisfaction, and number of children is positively associated with life satisfaction but negatively related to lifestyle. The moderated mediation model demonstrated that lifestyle partly mediated the relationship between widowhood and life satisfaction. Moreover, number of children moderated the relationship between widowhood and lifestyle and between lifestyle and satisfaction with life. Widowed elderly individuals who have more children are likely to show a higher level of satisfaction with life. The present study has significance in practice because it provides empirical implications obtained from a national survey on the universal two-child policy in China as two children might decrease the negative impacts of widowhood on life satisfaction.
本研究基于自我调节理论，考察了生活方式和子女数量如何影响丧偶与生活满意度之间的关系。研究对象为 2968 名老年受访者（男性=1515 名，女性=1453 名，平均年龄=69.12 岁，标准差=7.24），他们参与了中国综合社会调查。研究结果表明，生活方式与生活满意度呈正相关，子女数量与生活满意度呈正相关，但与生活方式呈负相关。调节中介模型表明，生活方式部分中介了丧偶与生活满意度之间的关系。此外，子女数量调节了丧偶与生活方式以及生活方式与生活满意度之间的关系。有更多子女的丧偶老年人更有可能对生活感到满意。本研究具有实践意义，因为它提供了中国普遍的二孩政策的全国性调查结果，表明两个孩子可能会降低丧偶对生活满意度的负面影响。
