The relationship between social interaction, as measured by a new Emotional Bondedness Scale, health, and subjective well-being were examined in 205 ambulatory medical patients aged 65 to 98 (M = 71.2 years). Health was measured by a Self-Rated Health Scale, a Physician-Rated Health Scale, the Sickness Impact Profile, and the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale. Subjective well-being was measured by the Life Satisfaction Index--A and the Affect Balance Scale. A significant correlation was found between emotional bondedness, health, and subjective well-being. Multiple regression analyses revealed that emotional bondedness is a significant predictor of subjective well-being and self-rated health. The variables age, marital status, type of residence, and income were not significantly correlated with either measure of subjective well-being. This study suggests that emotional bondedness has a direct impact on and is closely associated with health and subjective well-being in elderly medical patients.
采用一种新的情感联结量表对社会交往进行测量，在此基础上，对205名年龄在65至98岁（平均年龄71.2岁）的门诊医疗患者的社会交往、健康状况及主观幸福感之间的关系进行了研究。健康状况通过自评健康量表、医生评定健康量表、疾病影响概况量表以及zung自评抑郁量表进行测量。主观幸福感通过生活满意度指数A和情感平衡量表进行测量。研究发现情感联结、健康状况及主观幸福感之间存在显著相关性。多元回归分析表明，情感联结是主观幸福感和自评健康状况的重要预测指标。年龄、婚姻状况、居住类型及收入等变量与主观幸福感的任何一项测量指标均无显著相关性。本研究表明，情感联结对老年医疗患者的健康状况和主观幸福感具有直接影响且密切相关。
