本研究探讨父母的教育程度和主观的儿童社会经济地位（SES）是否与成年子女的幸福和自我信念（广义）。健康与退休研究的参与者如果在2006年或2008年完成了留守问卷，则被纳入（N= 10,827;法师= 68.38;SD= 9.81;范围= 50-101）。参与者报告了他们自己和父母的教育程度、主观的童年经济状况、入学时的童年经济困难以及2006/2008年的福祉。使用线性回归来检查后代教育、父母教育、儿童SES与幸福感和自我信念的三个方面之间的关联：积极影响（例如，积极情绪、乐观），消极情绪（例如，孤独，敌意），和认知评估（例如，生活满意度）。受教育程度较高的参与者报告了更高的幸福感（中位数β = 0.12）。父母的教育程度、主观的童年社会经济地位和童年时期的重大财务事件与更多的积极情感、更少的消极情感和更高的生活满意度相关（中位数β = 0.05）;这些关联控制了后代的教育。儿童时期的教育和经济环境可能会阻碍他们在进入老年后的幸福感;后代自己的经历和成就并不能完全削弱他们与这些方面的童年环境的联系。
This research examines whether parental educational attainment and subjective childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with adult offspring well-being and self-beliefs (broadly defined). Participants from the Health and Retirement Study were included if they completed the leave-behind questionnaire in 2006 or 2008 (N= 10,827;Mage= 68.38;SD= 9.81; range = 50–101). Participants reported on their own and both parents' educational attainment, subjective childhood financial situation, and financial difficulties in childhood at study entry and on well-being in 2006/2008. Linear regression was used to examine the association between offspring education, parental education, childhood SES and three aspects of well-being and self-beliefs: positive affect (e.g., positive emotions, optimism), negative affect (e.g., loneliness, hostility), and cognitive evaluation (e.g., life satisfaction). Participants with more education reported higher well-being (median β = 0.12). Parental educational attainment, subjective childhood SES, and a significant financial event during childhood were associated with more positive affect, less negative affect, and higher life satisfaction (median β = 0.05); these associations held controlling for offspring education. The educational and financial environment of childhood may hamper well-being into older adulthood; the offspring's own experiences and achievements do not completely attenuate the association with these aspects of the childhood environment.
