一致性或体育适应性的概念已被认为是理解环境对老年人福祉的影响的富有成效的理论方案(French等人,1974; Kahana,1975)。已经提出了替代模型来理解导致最积极结果的一致性类型。这些模式对加强老年人福祉的干预措施有不同的影响。本文代表了初步的努力,把这些替代理论模型的实证检验。本研究的数据来自三个养老院的124个访谈。为了克服传统方法所带来的方法学问题,采用了一种程序,该程序根据差异分数的非线性变换来测量不一致性。研究的一致性模型包括非方向性、单向性和双向性模型。研究结果指出体育配合在聚集,冲动控制和隔离领域的重要性。与此相反,个人和/或环境特征,而不是适合被发现是更重要的沿着维度的情感表达和制度控制在激励士气。
The notion of congruence or P-E fit has been suggested as a fruitful theoretical scheme for the understanding of the impact of environments on the well-being of older people (French et al., 1974; Kahana, 1975). Alternative models have been proposed for understanding the type of congruence which results in the most positive outcomes. Such models have differential implications for intervention to enhance well-being of the aged. This paper represents an initial effort to put these alternative theoretical models to an empirical test. Data for this study came from 124 interviews at three homes for the aged. In order to overcome methodological problems posed by conventional approaches, a procedure which measures incongruence in terms of non-linear transformations of difference scores was used. Congruence models examined included non-directional, one-directional, and two-directional models. The findings point to the importance of P-E fit in the arenas of congregation, impulse control, and segregation. In contrast, personal and/or environmental characteristics rather than fit were found to be more important along the dimensions of affective expression and institutional control in explaning morale.
