The study examined the relationship between spirituality and life satisfaction of Filipino older adults as mediated by dispositional resilience. Guided by the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC) model, the study employed a quantitative correlational design and a sample of 211 elderly Filipinos from Nueva Ecija, Philippines. Prior studies had established a nonlinear relationship of spirituality and life satisfaction, in contrast, this study attempted to provide a more definitive path between spirituality and life satisfaction. Moreover, previous researchers uncovered mediating effects of dispositional resilience with other concepts, whereas this study aimed to identify its role when mediating the aforementioned variables. Consequently, the findings revealed that spirituality and life satisfaction are positively correlated to dispositional resilience, the direct relationship of spirituality to life satisfaction was not significant. However, the effects of spirituality to life satisfaction can be amplified through the mediating effect of dispositional resilience. This indicates that dispositional resilience plays a significant role in understanding the influence of spirituality to the life satisfaction of Filipino older adults.
该研究考察了以性格韧性为中介的菲律宾老年人精神性与生活满意度之间的关系。在选择、优化与补偿（SOC）模型的指导下，该研究采用了定量相关设计，并从菲律宾新怡诗夏省抽取了211名菲律宾老年人作为样本。先前的研究已经确立了精神性与生活满意度之间的非线性关系，相比之下，本研究试图在精神性与生活满意度之间提供一条更明确的路径。此外，先前的研究人员发现了性格韧性对其他概念的中介作用，而本研究旨在确定其在介导上述变量时的作用。因此，研究结果显示，精神性和生活满意度与性格韧性呈正相关，精神性与生活满意度之间的直接关系并不显著。然而，精神性对生活满意度的影响可以通过性格韧性的中介作用得到增强。这表明性格韧性在理解精神性对菲律宾老年人生活满意度的影响方面起着重要作用。
