Abstract

The aim of this research was to examine the prediction of aspects of subjective well-being based on resilience and seven basic personality traits in users of gerontological centers, and the incremental contribution of basic personality traits in explaining adaptation to old age, beyond the variance explained by resilience. The sample consisted of 151 participants (54.3% female) with an average age of 80 years. Satisfaction with life, as cognitive indicator, and emotional distress (anxiety, depression, and stress) were used as indicators of subjective well-being. The results showed that resilience, neuroticism (in the negative direction) and positive valence predicted life satisfaction in the elderly. In predicting emotional distress, neuroticism stood out as a key predictor, while the significant contribution of resilience is dimnished by introducing personality traits into the model. The results provide a more complete picture of the relationships between resilience, personality traiits, and subjective well-being in a sample of the elderly in Serbia, and confirm the importance of studying these relationships from a developmental perspective.

复原力和基本人格特质对老年人主观幸福感的影响

本研究的目的是根据抗逆力和七种基本人格特质对老年医学中心使用者的主观幸福感进行预测，以及基本人格特质在解释老年适应性方面的增量贡献，而非抗逆力所解释的方差。样本包括 151 名参与者（54.3% 为女性），平均年龄为 80 岁。作为认知指标的生活满意度和情绪困扰（焦虑、抑郁和压力）被用作主观幸福感的指标。结果显示，复原力、神经质（消极方向）和积极情绪可预测老年人的生活满意度。在预测情绪困扰方面，神经质是一个关键的预测因子，而在模型中引入人格特质后，抗逆力的重要作用被削弱。研究结果更全面地反映了塞尔维亚老年人样本中复原力、人格特质和主观幸福感之间的关系，并证实了从发展角度研究这些关系的重要性。
