What Can Buffer the Impact of Social Support on Chinese Older Adults’ Life Satisfaction?

What Can Buffer the Impact of Social Support on Chinese Older Adults’ Life Satisfaction? This study aims to test the moderating effects of home health care, home-help service, and older adults’ attitudes toward aging on the relationship between social support and life satisfaction among Chinese older adults. The study used a sample of 5,578 Chinese home-dwelling older adults. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to test the hypothesized effects along with gender and Hukou type differences. The results show that home health care significantly buffers the impact of social support on life satisfaction, and this buffering effect remains same across gender groups and Hukou groups. The findings of the study provide unique and contemporary theoretical and practical implications. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Gerontology SAGE

Abstract

This study aims to test the moderating effects of home health care, home-help service, and older adults’ attitudes toward aging on the relationship between social support and life satisfaction among Chinese older adults. The study used a sample of 5,578 Chinese home-dwelling older adults. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to test the hypothesized effects along with gender and Hukou type differences. The results show that home health care significantly buffers the impact of social support on life satisfaction, and this buffering effect remains same across gender groups and Hukou groups. The findings of the study provide unique and contemporary theoretical and practical implications.
