DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Understanding the consequences of loss of functioning in later life for subjective wellbeing is of substantial scientific and public health import, given the aging of the population, the high prevalence of disability in later life, and projected increases in the number of older adults with limitations. A limitation of the literature on this topic to date is its exclusive focus on global reports of wellbeing and decontextualized reports of affect. Recent studies have made clear that factors that shape global reports of satisfaction with life do not coincide with those that shape moment-to-moment "experienced" wellbeing through the day. The 24-hour diary, designed to capture participation in activities on the previous day, has been validated as a means of measuring experienced wellbeing, and thus offers researchers a powerful tool for studying consequences of disablement in daily life. The proposed project will add a time diary supplement for older participants in the longest running and most widely used national panel study in the U.S., the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). When used in combination with PSID's long-term measures of health, economic wellbeing and rich familial context, the proposed diary collection will allow unparalleled exploration of mechanisms that promote subjective wellbeing in later life. The overarching goals of this project are: 1) to create a free, publicly available national resource of diary-based measures of time use and wellbeing for older adults in the 2013 PSID; and 2) to undertake new analyses that will refocus the literature on disability and related care on the mechanisms through which participation and wellbeing are maintained in later life. Time diaries will be collected by telephone from approximately 1750 individuals ages 60 and older and spouses/partners of individuals that age, for one random weekday and one random weekend day. Supplemental questions will focus on disability, evaluative wellbeing, and new items will address quality of relationships, as well as psychological factors such as personality. To promote wide use, data and diary extraction tools will be made available online through the PSID's public use Data Center and a user workshop will be held in 2015. After releasing the data, the project team will undertake the first national portrait of later-life disability, time use, and affect during the 24-hour day. We will also investigate the role of economic, social, and psychological factors in buffering the effects of disability on time use and experienced wellbeing and the circumstances under which giving time to others yields well being. These analyses are made possible by PSID's rich panel measures of health, recent and longer-term economic wellbeing, and familial context. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Understanding the consequences of loss of functioning in later life for subjective wellbeing is of substantial scientific and public health import, given the aging of the population, the high prevalence of disability in later life, and projected increases in the number of older adults with limitations. By collecting, disseminating, and analyzing time diaries and experienced wellbeing from older adults in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this study will refocus the literature on disability and related care on the mechanisms through which participation and wellbeing are maintained in later life.

描述（由申请人提供）：考虑到人口老龄化、晚年残疾的高患病率以及预计老年人数量的增加，了解晚年功能丧失对主观幸福感的影响具有重要的科学和公共卫生意义。到目前为止，关于这一主题的文献的局限性在于其只关注全球福祉报告和脱离背景的影响报告。最近的研究表明，塑造全球生活满意度报告的因素与塑造一天中每时每刻“体验到的”幸福感的因素并不一致。24小时日记旨在记录前一天参与活动的情况，已被验证为衡量体验幸福的一种手段，从而为研究人员研究日常生活中残疾的后果提供了有力的工具。拟议中的项目将为美国运行时间最长、使用最广泛的国家小组研究中的老年参与者增加一个时间日记补充，收入动态小组研究（PSID）当与PSID的长期健康措施，经济福祉和丰富的家庭背景相结合使用时，拟议的日记收集将允许无与伦比的探索机制，促进晚年的主观幸福感。该项目的总体目标是：1）在2013年《老年人社会发展计划》中创建一个免费的、公开可用的国家资源，以日记为基础衡量老年人的时间使用和福祉; 2）进行新的分析，将有关残疾和相关护理的文献重新聚焦于在晚年保持参与和福祉的机制。将通过电话从大约1750名年龄在60岁及以上的个人以及该年龄段个人的配偶/伴侣那里收集时间日记，时间为一个随机的工作日和一个随机的周末。补充问题将侧重于残疾，评估幸福感，新项目将涉及关系质量以及个性等心理因素。为了促进广泛使用，将通过公共服务和工业发展公共使用数据中心在线提供数据和日记提取工具，并将于2015年举办一次用户研讨会。在发布数据后，项目团队将进行第一次全国性的晚年残疾，时间使用和24小时影响的画像。我们还将研究经济，社会和心理因素在缓冲残疾对时间使用和体验幸福的影响方面的作用，以及在何种情况下给予他人时间会产生幸福感。这些分析是由PSID的健康，最近和长期的经济福利，和家庭环境的丰富面板措施。 公共卫生相关性：鉴于人口老龄化、晚年残疾的高患病率以及预计老年人的数量将增加，了解晚年功能丧失对主观幸福感的影响具有重大的科学和公共卫生意义。通过收集、传播和分析收入动态小组研究中老年人的时间日记和经历过的幸福感，本研究将重新关注残疾和相关护理的文献，关注参与和幸福感在晚年得以维持的机制。
