Exposure to expectations for active aging may be modulated by age and individual resources (socioeconomic status, social integration, and health) via multiple pathways. Using a cross-sectional, nationally representative sample of adults aged 17 to 94 ( = 2,007), we investigated the relations between age, individual resources, and perceived expectations for active aging (PEAA) in three domains (physical health, mental health, and social engagement). Across domains, young adults and individuals aged 70+ reported slightly lower PEAA than emerging adults did; no other age differences emerged. Multiple regression showed that a higher subjective socioeconomic status, better perceived general health, and partnership (in older adults) predicted higher PEAA (almost) across domains, whereas church attendance, employment status, and occupational prestige yielded domain- and age-specific effects, which were not always positive. We conclude that the effects of individual resources on PEAA are limited in general but vary depending on life domain and age.
接触积极老龄化的期望可能会通过多种途径受到年龄和个体资源（社会经济地位、社会融合和健康）的调节。本研究使用了一个具有全国代表性的 17 至 94 岁成年人的横断面样本（ = 2007），调查了年龄、个体资源与三个领域（身体健康、心理健康和社会参与）中感知到的积极老龄化期望（PEAA）之间的关系。在各个领域中，年轻成年人和 70 岁以上的个体报告的 PEAA 略低于新兴成年人；没有出现其他年龄差异。多元回归显示，较高的主观社会经济地位、较好的一般健康感知以及伴侣关系（在老年人中）几乎可以预测各个领域的更高的 PEAA，而参加教堂活动、就业状况和职业声望则产生了特定于领域和年龄的影响，这些影响并不总是积极的。我们的结论是，个体资源对 PEAA 的影响总体上是有限的，但取决于生活领域和年龄。
