This study tested various models of the effects of positive and negative exchanges on positive and negative affect using structural equation modeling. Based on a probability sample of middle-aged and older adults, the relationships between social exchanges and psychological well-being were examined both within the total sample and within subgroups of individuals who had experienced few vs many life events. Within the general population, the Domain Specific Model resulted in the best fit. That is, positive exchanges were associated with positive affect, and negative exchanges were associated with negative affect. However, among the subgroup that had experienced more life events, there was a significantly stronger relationship between negative exchanges and negative affect. These findings suggest that, to understand the effects of social exchanges, it is important to consider the context of life events.
本研究使用结构方程模型测试了正向和负向交流对积极和消极情绪影响的各种模型。基于中老年成年人的概率样本，在总样本以及经历生活事件较少与较多的个体子组中，研究了社会交流与心理健康之间的关系。在普通人群中，特定领域模型拟合效果最佳。也就是说，正向交流与积极情绪相关，负向交流与消极情绪相关。然而，在经历更多生活事件的子组中，负向交流与消极情绪之间的关系显著更强。这些发现表明，要理解社会交流的影响，考虑生活事件的背景很重要。
