摘要

研究目的我们研究了不同年龄段的成年人在人生重大事件中如何经历其社会关系的变化。基于不同的目标优先级，年轻的成年人可能会更多地受益于在重大人生事件中建立新的社会关系，而老年人可能会更多地受益于维持现有的社会关系：为了验证这些假设，我们对 N = 6,688 名年龄在 18 至 90 岁之间、报告在过去两年中至少发生过一次重大生活事件的参与者进行了多层次建模：结果：在重大生活事件中建立新的社会关系和保持现有关系都与较高的幸福感有关。正如所预测的那样，这些关联受到年龄的调节。在年轻人中，建立新的社会关系与心理健康和生活满意度的关系更为密切，而在老年人中，保持现有关系与主观幸福感、身体健康和孤独感的关系更为密切：这些发现为我们深入了解年龄在人生重大事件中社会关系的变化和稳定方面所起的作用提供了宝贵的启示。

Establishing and Maintaining Social Relationships During Significant Life Events: The Role of Age.

Objectives: We investigate how adults of different ages experience changes in their social relationships during significant life events. Based on different goal priorities, younger adults may benefit more from establishing new social contacts during a significant life event, whereas older adults may benefit more from maintaining existing relationships.

Methods: To test these hypotheses, we conducted multilevel modelling with a sample of N = 6,688 participants aged 18 to 90 years who reported at least one significant life event in the past two years.

Results: Both establishing new social relationships and maintaining existing relationships during significant life events were associated with higher levels of well-being. As predicted, these associations were moderated by age. Establishing new social relationships was more strongly associated with mental health and life satisfaction in younger adults, whereas maintaining existing relationships was more strongly associated with subjective well-being, physical health, and loneliness in older adults.

Discussion: These findings provide valuable insights into the role of age in the change and stability of social relationships during significant life events.
