Abstract

This study investigates the potential influence of life purpose in modifying the impact of education on depressive symptoms, and perception of leisure and social constraints. The research targets adult residents residing in low-income subsidized housing facilities in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Surveys were administered to collect data on life purpose, depressive symptoms, perceived leisure constraints and sociodemographics. Bayesian statistics were employed to estimate the probability of a model encompassing education, life purpose, and their interaction, compared to a model incorporating only common sociodemographics. The findings substantiate the noteworthy protective benefits associated with life purpose. This research holds implications for the development of health interventions specifically tailored to address the unique psychosocial needs of low-income adults residing in subsidized housing, thereby contributing to more effective and targeted public health strategies.

生活目标对社会心理健康的作用：对居住在补贴住房中的老年人的初步研究

本研究调查了生活目的在改变教育对抑郁症状的影响以及对休闲和社会限制的感知方面的潜在影响。研究对象是居住在宾夕法尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州低收入补贴住房设施中的成年居民。通过问卷调查收集了有关生活目的、抑郁症状、感知到的休闲限制和社会人口统计数据。采用贝叶斯统计法估算了包含教育、生活目的及其交互作用的模型与仅包含普通社会人口统计数据的模型的概率。研究结果证实了与人生目标相关的值得注意的保护性益处。这项研究对制定专门针对居住在补贴住房中的低收入成年人的独特社会心理需求的健康干预措施具有重要意义，从而有助于制定更有效、更有针对性的公共卫生战略。
