Abstract

The current study investigated a structural model of a partially mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship among antecedents variables (neuroticism, extroversion, masculinity, femininity, familial support, & Confucian values) and subjective well-being of Korean elderly. Data were collected through the structured individual interview from a sample of 495 elderly people (122 men & 371 women, aged 64~84). Results from the structural equation model analysis (LISREL 8) showed that the hypothesized model exhibited proper a fit to the data. The analysis showed that the individual self-esteem mediated the effects of neuroticism, masculinity, and femininity on subjective well-being. Familial self-esteem also mediated the effects of femininity, familial support, and Confucian value on subjective well-being. Furthermore the neuroticism and familial support had direct effects on emotional well-being. Two alternative role (completely mediating or no mediating) models regarding the self-esteem were tested. The model of completely mediating role of self-esteem fitted the data best. In this model, even familial self-esteem influences the subjective well-being through individual self-esteem. Implications and needs for future research are discussed.
