This study examines two related issues concerning the subjective well-being of elderly adults: change over time and correlates of that change. Data come from a three-wave panel study of 401 elderly residents in St. Louis. Residualized change score regression analyses indicate: there is change in subjective well-being over 4-5 months and over 12 months; the 4-5 month and 12 month changes are remarkably similar; the effect of subjective well-being over time indicates regression to the mean; and, only socioeconomic status is a significant predictor of change in subjective well-being (net of the effects of subjective well-being itself). The implications of these results for our understanding of subjective well-being in the elderly are discussed, as are the policy implications of the positive effect of socioeconomic status on changes in the subjective well-being of the elderly.
随时间的变化以及这种变化的相关因素。数据来自对圣路易斯401名老年居民的三波面板研究。残差变化得分回归分析表明：主观幸福感在4至5个月以及12个月的时间跨度内存在变化；4至5个月和12个月的变化非常相似；主观幸福感随时间的影响表明存在均值回归；并且，只有社会经济地位是主观幸福感变化的显著预测因素（扣除主观幸福感本身的影响）。我们讨论了这些结果对我们理解老年人主观幸福感的意义，以及社会经济地位对老年人主观幸福感变化产生积极影响的政策含义。
