“…With Chinese SEI tutors faced with high unemployment rates and uncertain career development as participants, the current study extended the literature by demonstrating the role of positive coping and perceived social support in mediating the association between hope and life satisfaction, both, respectively, and through their sequential mediation effect. The findings revealed that positive coping and perceived social support were positively associated with hope and life satisfaction, which echoed the previous study about the relationship between hope and life satisfaction in college students and elderly individuals ( Özdemir et al, 2022 ). This study confirmed the argument that people with hope perceive higher life satisfaction than those who are less hopeful ( Nie et al, 2019 ), which supports Hypothesis 1.…”

“…With increasing research paying attention to the study of positive aspects of mental health in the post-COVID-19 era, it shows a similar call for positive tutoring that emphasizes applying the ethics of positive psychology to foster a positive learning environment in shadow education. Spiritual well-being was significantly associated with life satisfaction and hope ( Özdemir et al, 2022 ). Therefore, this study revealed that despite the challenges and uncertainty about jobs and careers in the post-COVID-19 era, hope, as an alternative, affects the SEI tutors’ life satisfaction via positive coping and social support.…”

Previous studies of the relationship between hope and life satisfaction left the underlying mechanism of how hope predicts life satisfaction unexplored to scholars. This study thus investigates the two potential mediators in the relationship between hope and life satisfaction among a sample of Chinese shadow education institution (SEI) tutors who may be under immense professional development pressure from a cross-sectional approach. The main body of the study consists of an online survey in which 221 SEI tutors reported their hope, positive coping, perceived social support, and life satisfaction. The survey results were analyzed using mediation and moderation analysis via SPSS 23.0. The results indicated that positive coping improved the relationship between hope and life satisfaction, supporting the hypothesis regarding the serial mediating effect of positive coping and perceived social support. In other words, tutors with a high level of hope tend to adopt positive coping strategies, thus will receive more social support and improve life satisfaction. Our findings revealed the independent and accumulative mediating effects of positive coping and perceived social support on the relationship between hope and life satisfaction, and had implications for the psychological intervention of SEI tutors who are currently facing enormous industry pressure.

“…By 2050, it is estimated that one in four people will be over 60 years old, with the fastest relative increase in the over-80 age group [ 1 ]. The problems that old age bring and the adaptation to it can influence the assessment of the quality of life of the elderly [ 2 ]. With an ageing population and an increase in the number of older people in the population, the assessment of life satisfaction, quality of life, and mental health in old age is a subject of increased interest.…”

Objectives The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the life satisfaction of older people living in a home environment and to find out what predictors influence it. Methods The research involved 1,121 older people 60 years and above from the Moravian-Silesian region who live in a home environment. The short form of the Life Satisfaction Index for the Thirds Age (LSITA-SF12) was used to assess life satisfaction. The Geriatric depression scale (GDS-15), the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory Scale (GAI), The Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC-13), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) were used to evaluate related factors. In addition, age, gender, marital status, education, social support, and subjective health assessment were evaluated. Results The overall life satisfaction score was found to be 36.34 (s = 8.66). The satisfaction of older people was classified into four grades: high satisfaction (15.2%), moderate satisfaction (60.8%), moderate dissatisfaction (23.4%), and high dissatisfaction (0.6%). The predictors of the longevity of the lives of older people were confirmed, both health factors (subjective health assessment, anxiety, and depression [Model 1: R = 0.642; R2 = 0.412; p<0.000]) and psychosocial factors (quality of life, self-esteem, sense of coherence, age, and social support [Model 2: R = 0.716; R2 = 0.513; p<0.000]). Conclusion In implementing policy measures, these areas should be emphasized. The availability of educational and psychosocial activities (e.g. reminiscence therapy, music therapy, group cognitive behavioural therapy, cognitive rehabilitation) within the community care of the older people and university of third age is appropriate to increase the life satisfaction of the older people. An initial depression screening is also required as part of preventive medical examinations to ensure early diagnosis and treatment of depression.

“…Life satisfaction is the basic dimension for measuring personal quality of life and subjective well-being ( Fastame, 2021 ). Elder life satisfaction is associated with positive life outcomes such as health ( Tian et al, 2022 ) and longevity ( Ozdemir et al, 2022 ). Elders with good self-rated health are more likely to have a higher level of life satisfaction.…”

AimTo compare differences in life satisfaction between widowed and non-widowed elders based on social support.MethodsA total of 4,560 widowed and 3,655 non-widowed elders were selected from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS-2018). Ordinal logistic regression models and t-tests were performed using SPSS v20.ResultsBoth widowed and non-widowed elders had high levels of life satisfaction. Personal characteristics had a significant impact on the life satisfaction of both widowed and non-widowed elders. Endowment insurance, social trust, residence, self-rated health, and living with family had a significant impact on the life satisfaction of widowed elders (p < 0.001), while endowment insurance, government subsidy, and self-rated health significantly impacted non-widowed elders (p < 0.001). Self-rated health had the greatest impact on the life satisfaction of widowed and non-widowed elders (OR = 4.62/4.45), followed by endowment insurance (OR = 1.24/1.32).ConclusionSocial support can significantly improve life satisfaction, but its impact is heterogeneous. Informal social support plays a greater role in improving the life satisfaction of widowed elders, but formal social support plays a greater role in the life satisfaction of non-widowed elders.
