Abstract

The pathways between personality traits and older adults' quality of life (QOL) have been well studied. However, perceived social support and positive coping styles should not be ignored by older adults' QOL. Hence, this study examines the chain mediating role of perceived social support and positive coping styles between personality traits and older adults' QOL. In total, 230 older individuals (Mean_age = 69.43, SD_age = 7.23, age range from 60 to 93) participated in this study. All older people provided a rating of QOL and perceived social support, the Chinese Big Five personality, and positive coping styles. (1a) the five personality traits of older adults were significantly associated with QOL; (2b) perceived social support mediated the relationship between three personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness) and QOL; (3c) positive coping styles played a mediator role in the personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness) and QOL; (4d) perceived social support and positive coping styles had a significant chain mediating effect on the three dimensions of personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness) and QOL. As mediating influences, social support and positive coping styles can be applied to efforts to promote QOL for older adults who share the personality traits of neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness.

老年人的人格特质与生活质量：感知到的社会支持和积极应对方式的连锁中介效应》（The Chain Mediating Effects of Perceived Social Support and Positive Coping Styles.

人格特质与老年人生活质量（QOL）之间的关系已经得到了深入研究。然而，老年人的生活质量不应忽视感知到的社会支持和积极应对方式。因此，本研究探讨了感知到的社会支持和积极应对方式在人格特质与老年人生活质量之间的连锁中介作用。共有 230 名老年人（平均年龄 = 69.43，最小年龄 = 7.23，年龄范围为 60 至 93 岁）参与了本研究。所有老年人都提供了对 QOL 和感知到的社会支持、中国五大人格以及积极应对方式的评分。(结果表明：（1a）老年人的五种人格特质与 QOL 显著相关；（2b）感知到的社会支持在三种人格特质（神经质、外向性和宜人性）与 QOL 之间起中介作用；(3c) 积极应对方式在人格特质（神经质、外向性和合意性）与 QOL 之间起着中介作用；(4d) 感知到的社会支持和积极应对方式对人格特质的三个维度（神经质、外向性和合意性）与 QOL 有明显的连锁中介效应。作为中介影响因素，社会支持和积极应对方式可用于促进具有神经质、外向性和合意性人格特征的老年人的 QOL。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
