Aging in place with a suitable living environment is essential for the health and well-being of older adults. However, the willingness of older people to modify their housing to meet their needs is not strong. Using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method, the study first explores the weights of factors, such as perceived behavioral control, policies, and market conditions that influence older adults' behavioral intention. Then, a structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used to dissect the psychological factors which account for the largest proportion. Using data from 560 people aged 70 or older from Beijing, results suggest that effectiveness perception, cost perception, and subjective norms can influence older people's behavioral intention directly or indirectly through emotional attitudes. Risk perception can moderate the level of behavioral intention triggered by cost perceptions. This study provides new evidence for the impact of factors and interaction mechanism on older adults' behavioral intentions toward age-friendly home modifications.
在适宜的居住环境中安享晚年对老年人的健康和幸福至关重要。然而，老年人为满足自身需求而改造住房的意愿并不强烈。本研究运用网络层次分析法（ANP），首先探究了诸如感知行为控制、政策和市场条件等影响老年人行为意向的因素的权重。然后，采用结构方程模型（SEM）方法剖析占比最大的心理因素。利用来自北京560名70岁及以上老年人的数据，结果表明，效能感知、成本感知和主观规范可通过情感态度直接或间接影响老年人的行为意向。风险感知能够调节由成本感知引发的行为意向水平。本研究为各因素的影响及交互机制对老年人进行适老化家居改造行为意向的作用提供了新的证据。
