一个复制研究进行了验证模型的生活质量（QOL）在早期的研究中产生的随机样本的202名老年人。使用来自420名老年人的便利样本的QOL数据重新测试发现有意义的途径。使用路径分析，我们发现，财务资源，健康和生活意义直接和积极影响生活质量。健康、情感支持和物理环境通过生活目标间接影响生活质量。除一条通路外，所有通路均重复，解释了50.5%的生活质量变异。进一步探索精神性的影响，情感上的密切联系，以及积极参与的机会对老年生活质量的影响是必要的。(c)2007Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
A replication study was undertaken to validate a model of quality of life (QOL) generated in an earlier study on a random sample of 202 older adults. Pathways found to be significant were retested using QOL data from a convenience sample of 420 older adults. Using path analysis, we found that financial resources, health, and meaning in life directly and positively influenced QOL. Health, emotional support, and the physical environment indirectly affected QOL through purpose in life. All but one pathway were replicated, explaining 50.5% of the variance in QOL. Further explorations of the influence of spirituality, emotionally close ties, and opportunities for active engagementon QOL in older age are warranted. (c) 2007Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
