我们研究了10个常见的社会孤立指标，并评估了哪些指标（如果有的话）与老年人的主观幸福感有关。定量测量（没有日常接触和每周接触最少），没有孩子，没有孩子加上未婚，没有孩子加上独居，与全球幸福感或生活满意度无关。独居和未婚的综合指标以及没有同伴或没有知己的单一指标在双变量水平上与这两种幸福指标相关。当控制人口，经济和健康因素，没有知己和没有同伴显着和独立相关的主观幸福感。这些研究结果表明，寻求生活安排或婚姻状况信息作为较低心理健康指标的从业者使用了错误的预测因素。
We examined 10 common indicators of social isolation and assessed which, if any, are related to subjective well-being among elderly individuals. The quantitative measures (no daily contact and minimal weekly contact), no children, having no children plus being unmarried, and having no children plus living alone, were unrelated to either global happiness or life satisfaction. The combined indicators of living alone and being unmarried as well as single indicators of having no companions or having no confidants were related at the bivariate level to both measures of well-being. When controlling for demographic, economic, and health factors, having no confidants and no companions were significantly and independently related to subjective well-being. These findings suggest that practitioners who seek information on living arrangements or marital status as proxy measures of lower psychological well-being are utilizing the wrong predictors.
