Abstract

Introduction: The process of elderly in the world has made various problems for many societies. Elderls have their specific care procedurse, and physical and mental health of them need attention to basic concepts such as quality of life, life expectancy and asserting their emotions for better using of life. Method: This study was a descriptive-correlational research design, aimed at investigating the mediating role of quality of life in the relationship between positive meta-emotion styles and life expectancy in elderly men. The research statistical population comprised all elderly men over 60 years in nursing home of Neyshabour Welfare Organization. The research sample included 132 of these elderly people who were selected through convenience sampling method. For data collection, Meta-Emotion Scale by Beck, Höfer and Schüßler (2009), Life Expectancy Questionnaire by Schneider at al. (1991) and World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1998) were applied. Data were analyzed using structural equations and correlation coefficient. Results: The results of Barron and Kenny regression and structural equation showed the correlation between positive meta-emotion styles and life expectancy with mediation of Life satisfaction. In addition, investigation of another hypothesis showed that the role of quality of life in relation to positive meta-emotion stylesmeta compassion and meta interest was partial. Meanwhile, according to correlation analysis and regression models, the relation among positive meta-emotion styles, life expectancy and quality of life were positive and significant. Conclusion: The results demonstrated that quality of life plays a mediating role in the relationship between positive metaemotion styles and life expectancy in elderly men. Further, a significant and direct relationship was found between the variables of positive metaemotion styles and life expectancy

生活质量在老年男性积极元情绪类型与预期寿命关系中的中介作用

世界上老龄化的进程给许多社会带来了各种各样的问题。老年人有其特定的护理程序，老年人的身心健康需要关注生活质量、预期寿命和维护情感等基本概念，以便更好地利用生命。方法:本研究采用描述性相关研究设计，探讨生活质量在老年男性积极元情绪类型与预期寿命之间的中介作用。研究统计人群为Neyshabour福利组织养老院所有60岁以上的老年男性。研究样本采用方便抽样法抽取132名老年人。数据收集采用Beck, Höfer和sch ßler(2009)的元情绪量表，Schneider等人的预期寿命问卷(1991)和世界卫生组织生活质量问卷(1998)。采用结构方程和相关系数对数据进行分析。结果:Barron & Kenny回归和结构方程结果表明，积极元情绪类型与预期寿命之间存在相关关系，并以生活满意度为中介。此外，对另一个假设的调查表明，生活质量对积极元情感类型、元同情和元兴趣的影响是局部的。同时，根据相关分析和回归模型，积极元情绪类型与预期寿命和生活质量之间存在显著正相关。结论:生活质量在老年男性积极元情绪类型与预期寿命之间起中介作用。此外，积极元情绪类型变量与预期寿命之间存在显著的直接关系
