Abstract

Aim: Although the association between personality and health has been well documented, the interaction between personality and health risk factors is understudied. This study examined (i) the relationship between the Big Five model of personality and subjective well-being and (ii) the buffering effect of social support on the relationship between personality and subjective well-being among Japanese older adults.

Methods: The participants were 1265 adults aged 65-84 (499 men, 766 women). The Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale was used as an index of subjective well-being (the study outcome). As explanatory variables, the Japanese version of the NEO-Five Factor Inventory measured the five domains of personality traits, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support measured social support. Data on age, sex, years of education, living arrangements (living alone or with family), psychiatric problems, chronic illness, and instrumental activities of daily living dependence, which were used as covariates, were obtained to test the independent association of personality and social support with subjective well-being.

Results: The multivariable regression analysis showed that neuroticism (β = -0.543), extraversion (β = 0.167), agreeableness (β = -0.099), social support (β = 0.143), and the interaction between social support and neuroticism (β = 0.058) were significantly associated with subjective well-being.

Conclusions: Our findings show that social support moderates the association between neuroticism and subjective well-being among older adults. Accordingly, for older adults who are higher in neuroticism, interventions that provide increased social support may help reduce the risk of poorer well-being. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; ••: ••-••.

人格和社会支持与日本老年人主观幸福感的关系。
目的:虽然人格与健康之间的关系已有大量文献记载,但人格与健康风险因素之间的相互作用却未得到充分研究。本研究探讨了(i)大五人格模型与日本老年人主观幸福感之间的关系,以及(ii)社会支持对人格与主观幸福感之间关系的缓冲作用:研究对象为 1265 名 65-84 岁的成年人(男性 499 人,女性 766 人)。采用费城老年医学中心士气量表作为主观幸福感(研究结果)的指数。作为解释变量,日文版的 NEO-Five Factor Inventory 测量了人格特质的五个领域,而感知社会支持多维量表测量了社会支持。为了检验人格和社会支持与主观幸福感之间的独立联系,研究人员获取了年龄、性别、受教育年限、居住安排(独居或与家人同住)、精神问题、慢性病和日常生活工具依赖性等数据作为协变量:多变量回归分析表明,神经质(β = -0.543)、外向性(β = 0.167)、宜人性(β = -0.099)、社会支持(β = 0.143)以及社会支持与神经质的交互作用(β = 0.058)与主观幸福感显著相关:我们的研究结果表明,社会支持可以调节老年人神经质与主观幸福感之间的关系。因此,对于神经质程度较高的老年人来说,提供更多社会支持的干预措施可能有助于降低幸福感较差的风险。Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; --:-----.
