本研究目的旨在探討銀髮族參與社區休閒活動時心流體驗與幸福感之相關研究,並瞭解不同的背景變項對社區銀髮族心流體驗、幸福感的影響。採用問卷調查法,以臺中市471位社區銀髪族為研究對象,其中包括男性151位、女性320位,平均年齡為63.55歲(SD±4.87)。本研究所使用工具有「心流體驗量表」、「幸福感量表」。並將所得資料以描述性統計、獨立樣本t檢定、單因子變異數分析、皮爾森積差相關、線性迴歸等統計方式進行分析。其研究結果如下:一、社區銀髮族心流體驗程度屬中上程度。二、社區銀髮族幸福感程度屬中等程度。三、不同性別、年齡、教育程度、居住狀況、經濟來源對社區銀髪族在心流體驗達顯著差異。四、不同性別、年齡、教育程度、經濟來源對社區銀髪族在幸福感達顯著差異;在不同居住狀況的社區銀髪族在幸福感上無顯著差異。五、社區銀髮族心流體驗對幸福感有顯著正向關係,社區銀髮族心流體驗感受愈高,對幸福感受也愈佳。此外,本研究除了對所得的結果作解釋外,並對研究結果的應用加以討論。同時,也對未來研究提出一些建議。
This study aimed to examine the correlation between the flow experience and well-being of elderly groups engaging in leisure activities in their communities, as well as to investigate the influence of different background variables on the flow experience and well-being of these community elderly. A questionnaire was administered to 471 community elderly (151 males and 320 females) in Taichung City with a mean age of 63.55 years (SD ± 4.87). The research tools included a Flow Experience Scale and a Well-Being Scale. Data was analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, independent sample t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and linear regression. The results are as follows: 1. The community elderly experienced a medium-to-high state of flow. 2. The community elderly had a medium-to-high level of well-being. 3. The flow experiences of the community elderly differed significantly depending on their gender, age, education level, living arrangement, and source of income. 4. The well-being of the community elderly differed significantly depending on their gender, age, education level, and source of income; whereas living arrangement had not generated any significant differences. 5. The flow experience of the community elderly had a significant and positive influence on their well-being, with a higher state of flow being linked to a higher level of well-being. Furthermore, this study not only interpreted the results, but also discussed how they could be applied in practice and proposed several recommendations for future studies.
