Employment status, social support, and life satisfaction among the elderly.
Abstract
Relations among employment status, social support, and life satisfaction were examined in a sample of 292 community-living elderly as part of a larger investigation of the role of stressful life experiences and social support in the health of the elderly. Results of a path analysis suggested that the number of hours worked at a paying job, lower levels of depression, and greater perceived social support were directly related to higher levels of life satisfaction. Furthermore, social support mediated the effects of volunteer positions on life satisfaction. These findings are discussed in relation to previous research on vocational issues among the elderly. Limitations of this study are mentioned, and suggestions for future research are offered.

“Social activities provide opportunities to exchange emotional support, whether through formal (e.g. volunteering and educational courses) or informal interactions with family (Aquino et al., 1996; McMunn et al., 2009; Nagao-Sato et al., 2023), which can contribute to purpose in life.”

“This pattern contrasts with evidence from Korea, the United States, and other contexts, where later-life paid work — particularly when voluntary, fl exible, and socially meaningful — has been shown to enhance life satisfaction (Aquino et al., 1996; Choi et al., 2017; Dingemans & Henkens, 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
