这项研究验证了一种假设，即老年人的外向和志愿服务之间的关系完全由社会资本(参加俱乐部和组织、参加教堂和与朋友联系)中介。这项研究的数据来自888名年龄在65-90岁之间的成年人，他们参与了社会交流的晚年研究(LLSSE)。为了支持我们的假设，结构方程模型显示：(A)外倾性对志愿服务有显著的总体影响(0.122)，(B)通过与朋友的接触(0.042)、去教堂(0.034)、俱乐部和组织(仅限女性：0.042)对志愿服务产生显著的间接影响，(C)对志愿服务(0.010)没有显著的直接影响。这些发现表明，社会资本为外向性和志愿服务之间的联系提供了一个可行的解释。
This study tested the hypothesis that the relation between extraversion and volunteering by older adults is fully mediated by social capital (participation in clubs and organizations, church attendance, and contact with friends). Data for this study come from 888 adults between the ages of 65–90 years old who participated in the Later Life Study of Social Exchanges (LLSSE). In support of our hypothesis, structural equation modeling revealed that extraversion exerted: (a) a significant total effect on volunteering (0.122), (b) significant indirect effects on volunteering via contact with friends (0.042), church attendance (0.034), and clubs and organizations (females only: 0.042), and (c) a non-significant direct effect on volunteering (0.010). These findings suggest that social capital provides a viable explanation for the association between extraversion and volunteering.
