The Roles of Acceptance and Cognitive Reappraisal in the Relationship Between Stress, Subjective Well-Being and Depression in Older Adults
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the roles of acceptance and cognitive reappraisal in the relationship between stress, subjective well-being and depression in older adults. Among various emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal, which is positively reinterpreting an event, is widely considered to improve subjective well-being and reduce depressive symptoms of the elderly. However, the role of acceptance - willingly experiencing an unpleasant thought and feeling - for successful aging is not yet clear. In this study, whether acceptance and cognitive reappraisal play a positive role on successful aging was identified by exploring the relationships among stress, subjective well-being, depression, acceptance, and cognitive reappraisal. Demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education level, and the presence of a spouse were also considered to verify whether the characteristics had an effect on elderly's subjective well-being and depression. The results showed that only education level was related to subjective well-being and depression. Acceptance was significantly related to high subjective well-being and low depression, whereas cognitive reappraisal was not. When the education level was controlled, the partial mediating effect of acceptance on the relationship between stress, subjective well-being and depression was found. From these results, it was provisionally supported that acceptance is helpful for improving elderly's subjective well-being and reducing depression, ultimately contributing to successful aging. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study and suggestions for future research were discussed.
