Abstract
This study aimed to examine the effect of problem-focused coping on subjective well-being and the moderating effects of awareness of positive (gains) or negative (losses) age-related changes among elderly people. Specifically, this study predicted that problem-focused coping would be positively related to subjective well-being (hypothesis 1) and that the awareness of positive (hypothesis 2) or negative (hypothesis 3) age-related changes negatively moderated the influence of problem-focused coping and subjective well-being. For this purpose, we conducted an online survey with 350 elderly participants. The results were as follows: First, problem-focused coping positively predicted subjective well-being; Second, awareness of positive age-related change mitigated the relationship between problem-focused coping and subjective well-being; However, the moderating effect of awareness of negative age-related change was not significant. Finally, the implications and limitations of this study were discussed.
