本研究的目的是了解 65 岁及以上人群的长期财务压力、情感支持和生活满意度之间的关系是否存在年龄差异。一项针对老年人的全国性调查数据（N = 1,518）表明，情感支持往往会减少经济问题对整个样本生活满意度的有害影响。然而，研究结果进一步表明，情感支持的潜在好处主要出现在老年人中。相比之下，情感支持并不能抵消经济压力对年轻老年人生活满意度的负面影响。
The purpose of this study is to see if there are age differences in the relationship between chronic financial strain, emotional support, and life satisfaction among people aged 65 and older. Data from a nationwide survey of older people (N = 1,518) indicate that emotional support tends to reduce the noxious effects of economic problems on life satisfaction for the sample as a whole. However, the findings further reveal that the potential benefits of emotional support arise primarily among the oldest-old. In contrast, emotional support does not offset the negative effects of financial strain on life satisfaction among the young-old.
