Our study aims to test whether anxiety mediated the association between perceived stress and life satisfaction and whether the mediating effect was moderated by resilience among elderly migrants in China.
We used self-reported data collected from 654 elderly migrants in Nanjing. Regression analyses using bootstrapping methods were conducted to explore the mediating and moderating effects.
The results showed that anxiety mediated the relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction (indirect effect = -0.040, CI [-0.066, -0.017]). Moreover, moderated mediated analysis indicated that resilience moderated the path between anxiety and life satisfaction (moderating effect = 0.034, 95% CI [0.021, 0.048]). In particular, anxiety had a negative impact on life satisfaction only for Chinese elderly migrants with lower resilience.
Our study suggests that perceived stress could reduce life satisfaction among elderly migrants as their anxiety levels increase. Fortunately, elderly migrants' resilience could undermine this negative effect.
我们的研究旨在检验焦虑是否介导了感知压力与生活满意度之间的关联,以及在中国老年移民中,这种中介效应是否受到心理韧性的调节。
我们使用了从南京654名老年移民收集的自我报告数据。采用自抽样法进行回归分析,以探讨中介和调节效应。
结果表明,焦虑介导了感知压力与生活满意度之间的关系(间接效应=-0.040,置信区间[-0.066,-0.017])。此外,调节中介分析表明,心理韧性调节了焦虑与生活满意度之间的路径(调节效应=0.034,95%置信区间[0.021,0.048])。具体而言,焦虑仅对心理韧性较低的中国老年移民的生活满意度有负面影响。
我们的研究表明,随着焦虑水平的增加,感知压力会降低老年移民的生活满意度。幸运的是,老年移民的心理韧性可以削弱这种负面影响。
