The Influence Of Time Insight On The Subjective Well-being Of The Elderly

With the acceleration of aging in our country,the happiness of the aged and the problem of providing for the aged have become a hot topic.In order to explore the influence of the elderly’s time perspective on their subjective well-being and the regulating effect under different pension modes,and to reflect the elderly’s different feelings and experiences under the time perspective and pension mode,so as to improve the pension mode and the elderly’s subjective well-being.Through the investigation and practice,this study adopts the method of stratified sampling to select the elderly over 60 years old under different pension models as the subjects,and finally selects 138 elderly people in the family pension mode,and 141 elderly people in the institutional pension mode,and 126 elderly people in the community pension mode.Then use Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness and the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory to conduct a questionnaire survey.Research results:(1)Women’s scored on subjective well-being are higher than men’s,and those with spouses scored higher on subjective well-being than those without spouses.Older-aged older people scored higher on subjective well-being than older ones.Farmers score lower on subjective well-being than other occupations.Older people with higher education level,higher income level and household registration status in the city have higher scores on subjective well-being;(2)Men’s scores on past-negative time perspective are higher than women’s.Older with spouse scored higher on present-hedonistic time perspective and past-positive time perspective than those without spouse.Older people in the younger age scored higher in present-hedonistic time perspective and past-negative than older people in the older age group.Older people whose occupation was cadre had higher scores on present-hedonistic time perspective,past-negative time perspective,and future time perspective.Older people with high levels of education or high income levels had higher scores in future time perspective,and past-positive time perspective,and past-negative time perspective;(3)The elderly in the community pension mode and the family pension mode scored higher than the institutional pension in the subjective well-being.Among them,the elderly in the community pension mode scored the highest score.(4)The total score of subjective well-being was significantly positively correlated with present-hedonistic time perspective,past-positive time perspective,and future time perspective;(5)The results of group regression showed that the institutional pension model had a significant regulating effect between present-hedonistic time perspective and subjective well-being(△R2=5.3%,F=8.89,p<0.01);family pension mode,institutional pension mode,community pension were all had a significant regulating effect between past-positive time perspective and subjective well-being(△R2=13.1%,F=21.69,p<0.01;△R2=14.1%,F=23.88,p<0.01;△R2=17.9%,F=28.31,p<0.01);the family pension mode and institutional pension mode had a significant regulating effect between future time perspective and subjective well-being(△R2=8.1%,F=13.04,p<0.01;△R2=3.2%,F=5.56,p<0.05).Main conclusion:(1)The subjective well-being of the elderly had significant differences in the three pension modes,with the highest score in the community pension mode.(2)Present-hedonistic time perspective,past-positive time perspective,and future time perspective could positively predict subjective well-being.(3)The three pension modes had a regulating effect between time perception and subjective well-being.
