The Dominance Analysis of the Prediction for the Subjective Well-being of the Elderly Made by Their Resilience, Loneliness and Self-Efficacy

Abstract

Abstract: Resilience, Loneliness and Self-Efficacy affect the subjective well-being of the elderly, but the relative importance of them is unknown. We used the dominance analysis to explore the question in current research. The Connor-Davidson resilience scale, the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were employed respectively to measure the Resilience, Loneliness and Self-efficacy of the elderly, while the Subjective Happiness Scale and the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale were used to survey the Subjective Well-Being of them. The results indicated that the largest degree of prediction for the Subjective Well-Being of the elderly is Loneliness, Resilience next, and the third is Self-Efficacy. This research suggests that promoting the Resilience and Self-Efficacy of the elderly will improve the Subjective Well-Being of the elderly, and alleviating their Loneliness will be better.

Key words: the Subjective well-being of the elderly, resilience, loneliness, self-efficacy, dominance analysis.

摘要： 心理韧性、孤独感、自我效能感都会影响老年人的主观幸福感，但三者影响程度的相对大小尚不清楚。为考察其影响力的大小，本研究采用了优势分析的方法。选取心理韧性量表、UCLA孤独量表、一般自我效能感量表分别测量老年人的心理韧性、孤独感、自我效能感，主观幸福感量表、费城老年中心信心量表测量老年人主观幸福感。优势分析结果表明，孤独感对老年人主观幸福感的预测力大于心理韧性与自我效能感；心理韧性的预测力大于自我效能感。本研究提示减少孤独感是提升老年人主观幸福感的重要途径，而老年人的心理韧性和自我效能感对提升老年人主观幸福感有一定的作用。
