Abstract

This paper is intended to investigate the influence of intergenerational support from children on the life satisfaction of the elderly and explore the mediating effect of self-efficacy. A total of randomly-selected 615 elderly people from Zhejiang and Jiangsu Provinces were measured by a general information questionnaire, life satisfaction scale, children’s intergenerational support scale, and self-efficacy scale. With statistical regression analysis and mediating effect test respectively conducted through SPSS21.0 and Process macro programs, significant differences (P < 0.05) have been found in age, spouse, household registration, and pension concerning the life satisfaction score of the elderly. Intergenerational support from children is positively correlated with life satisfaction (r = 0.27, P < 0.01) and self-efficacy (r = 0.13, P < 0.01), and life satisfaction shares a positive correlation with self-efficacy (r = 0.39, P < 0.01). The results of regression analysis showed that self-efficacy had a significant partial mediating effect on the influence of intergenerational support from children on life satisfaction. Both intergenerational supports from children and self-efficacy constitute important factors affecting the life satisfaction of the elderly, and self-efficacy can partially mediate the influence of intergenerational support from children on the life satisfaction of the elderly.
