This study provides data on variations in subjective well-being among older residents of small towns in varying rural contexts. Standard structured interview data on five composite dimensions of well-being (mental health, activity, contact with friends/relatives, security) were gathered on 989 elderly residents across 18 small towns stratified by population (100-500; 501-1500; 1501-2500) and quantitatively-defined county rurality (high-medium-low). Similarities and differences in well-being among the nine town size/rurality categories resulting from this stratification are discussed, along with implications for rural gerontological research and intervention.
本研究提供了不同农村环境下小镇老年居民主观幸福感差异的数据。我们收集了989名老年居民关于幸福感五个综合维度（心理健康、活动、与朋友/亲属的联系、安全感）的标准结构化访谈数据，这些居民来自18个根据人口规模（100 - 500；501 - 1500；1501 - 2500）和定量界定的县域农村程度（高 - 中 - 低）分层的小镇。讨论了由此分层产生的九个城镇规模/农村程度类别之间幸福感的异同，以及对农村老年学研究和干预的启示。
