Abstract:
Objectives This study examined intraindividual change in satisfaction with life (SWL) in Swiss older adults before, during, and after COVID-19. It assessed whether predictors of adaptation influenced SWL stability, and whether this differed depending on adverse childhood experiences (ACE). Methods SWL was assessed eight times over a 21-month period. ACE, emotion regulation, meaning in life, and subjective socio-economic status (SES) were assessed as predictors. Data were analyzed using growth curve modeling. Results The sample consisted of two groups: A risk group (RG: n = 111, M age = 69.4 years) comprised of individuals with a high risk of having been exposed to ACE, and a (low-risk) control group (CG: n = 120, M age = 70.3 years). Intraindividual change in SWL was predicted by (presence of) meaning in life only in the RG, and by subjective SES only in the CG. Conclusion Results identified predictors of stable SWL trajectories and the potential for positive psychological functioning into later life, despite past and current prolonged adversity.

摘要:
目的本研究调查了瑞士老年人生活满意度(SWL)的个体内变化,during,在COVID-19之后。它评估了适应预测因子是否影响SWL稳定性,以及这是否取决于不良的童年经历(ACE)。方法在21个月的时间内对SWL进行8次评估。ACE,情绪调节,生活的意义,和主观社会经济地位(SES)被评估为预测因子。使用生长曲线建模分析数据。结果样本由两组组成:风险组(RG:n=111,M年龄=69.4岁)由暴露于ACE的高风险个体组成,和(低风险)对照组(CG:n=120,M年龄=70.3岁)。SWL的个体间变化是通过仅在RG中(存在)生命意义来预测的,并且仅在CG中通过主观SES。结论结果确定了稳定的SWL轨迹的预测因素,以及对以后生活的积极心理功能的潜力。尽管过去和现在长期的逆境。
