Abstract

ABSTRACTThe aging of the global population highlights the importance of well-being among older adults. This study examines the effect of basic psychological needs satisfaction on well-being, in line with self-determination theory. The study investigates how this effect occurs through affective mediation and how it is influenced by perceptions of aging. Data were gathered from 818 older adults regarding their basic psychological needs satisfaction, positive and negative affect, well-being, and attitudes toward aging. Controlling for age and physical health, the results show that the satisfaction of psychological needs results in an increase in positive affect and a decrease in negative affect, ultimately shaping well-being. The variability among individuals becomes apparent through the crucial role of aging self-perceptions in moderating this effect. This study is significant because it reveals how affect mediates basic psychological needs satisfaction and well-being while emphasizing the relevance of aging self-perceptions. Practical implications include shaping gerontological education and effective engagement strategies with the elderly demographic. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by grants from the Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan awarded to Chun-Yu Kuo [MOST 111-2628-H-003-007-MY3].

老年人基本心理需求满足对幸福感的影响:情感与衰老自我感知的中介分析

摘要全球人口老龄化凸显了老年人幸福感的重要性。本研究以自我决定理论为基础，探讨基本心理需求满足对幸福感的影响。该研究调查了这种效应是如何通过情感调解发生的，以及它是如何受到衰老感知的影响的。收集了818名老年人的基本心理需求满意度、积极和消极影响、幸福感以及对衰老的态度等数据。控制年龄和身体健康，结果表明，心理需求的满足导致积极影响的增加和消极影响的减少，最终形成幸福。个体之间的差异通过衰老自我认知在调节这种影响中的关键作用变得明显。本研究揭示了情绪如何调节基本心理需求满足和幸福感，同时强调了衰老自我认知的相关性。实际意义包括塑造老年学教育和有效的老年人口参与战略。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。本研究得到了台湾科技部郭春宇的资助[MOST 111-2628-H-003-007-MY3]。
