代际共居对老年人生活满意度的影响——代际情感支持的中介作用
|
Abstract:
我国当前正面临着家庭少子化和社会老龄化趋势的相互作用，在这一背景下对老年群体的生活满意度进行更深入的观察尤为重要。本研究首先探讨了中国老年人的代际共居与生活满意度之间的关系。之后，我们通过建立结构方程模型进行中介分析揭示了这一关联背后的机制，探讨了代际情感支持的作用。本研究使用了2018年中国健康长寿纵向调查的数据(CLHLS)，纳入了6164名65岁及以上的老年人。结果显示，与子女共同居住与老年人更好的生活满意度相关；代际情感支持在代际共居和生活满意度之间发挥完全中介作用。这些发现强调了在不同的居住安排中，代际情感支持对于老年人生活满意度的重要性。
The current situation in China is characterized by the interaction between the trends of declining birth rates and population aging, making it particularly important to conduct a more in-depth ob-servation of the life satisfaction of the elderly population. This study first explores the relationship between intergenerational cohabitation and life satisfaction among elderly people in China. Subse-quently, we use structural equation modeling to conduct mediation analysis, revealing the under-lying mechanisms behind this association and examining the role of intergenerational emotional support. Our analyses used data from the 2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey and included 6164 individuals aged 65 years and older. The results showed that having more children and intergenerational cohabitation were associated with better emotional well-being. Intergenera-tional emotional support played a full mediation role between family status and emotional well-being. These findings underscore the importance of intergenerational emotional support in various types of family status.
