Abstract

Objective: To analyze the directional effects of individual comparison on subjective well-being in the elderly in the diachronic data, which aims to provide theoretical exploration for the subjective well-being (SWB) of old age. Methods: Based on the data of the follow-up survey on the influencing factors of health and longevity of the elderly in China from 2008 to 2018. The MPLUS multi-level growth model is used to analyze the longitudinal relationship between subjective well-being and individual comparison, including the influence of control strategies on subjective well-being. Results: The model shows that the change of individual comparison of the elderly can significantly predict the level of subjective well-being. In individual comparison, temporal comparison has a significant predictive effect on subjective well-being, and the elderly will use temporal comparison more. The influence of social comparison on the intercept is significant, but not on the slope, so it is presumed that social comparison is a short process. Overall, the individual comparison is a dynamic process. Conclusion: It is feasible for the elderly to adjust their cognition and use "comparison" to cope with negative emotions.
