本研究的目的是确定活动和老年人的幸福感之间的关系，通过检查的原因，老年人的活动作为调节剂的关系。249名老年人完成了一份问卷调查，其中包括人口统计学，健康和活动项目。参与者指出他们是否参与了44项活动中的每一项，他们如何经常参与每一项活动，以及每一项活动的原因。分层回归分析的结果表明，从事的活动推断社会原因与幸福感呈正相关，而从事的活动，以通过时间与幸福感呈负相关。活动总数和日常活动的数量与幸福感无关。这些研究结果表明，从事更多的活动并不一定能提高幸福感，从事活动的原因对老年人的幸福感很重要。
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between activity and older adult well-being by examining the reasons for older adult activity as moderators of the relationship. A sample of 249 older adults completed a questionnaire that contained demographic, health, and activity items. Participants indicated whether they engaged in each of 44 activities, how routinely they engaged in each, and the reasons for each activity. Results from hierarchical regression analyses showed that activities engaged infer social reasons positively related to well-being, and activities engaged in to pass the rime negatively related to well-being. Total number of activities and the number of routine activities did not relate to well-being. These findings suggest that engaging in more activities does not necessarily enhance well-being, and that the reasons for engaging in activities are important for older adult well-being.
