摘要

生命中的每一個階段都面臨不同的危機。Erikson提出的八個人生發展階段中的最後階段是高齡者的統整與失望。即那些能統整生命而覺得人生快樂滿足且生活有意義的高齡者將能良好的度過老年危機，否則將失望度過餘生。本研究根據中央研究院長期追蹤調查2005年份資料庫，分析台灣246位65歲以上高齡者資料。運用統計方法如相關、回歸、變異數及區別分析以探討高齡者生活滿意度及各成功老化因素間之關係。發現結果：1.生活滿意度與各成功老化變項間（身體健康，心理健康，人際關係，休閒活動，經濟滿意度）有顯著正相關；2.經濟滿意度爲最重要的預測生活滿意度的因素。3.不同性別，年齡及生活滿意度（分成高中低三組）各組間在整體之成功老化因素之平均數存有顯著差異。4.本研究所產生的成功老化模式對於生活滿意度之預測歸類能力高過一般機率。研究者選取休閒活動因素加入成功老化之模式概念在本研究中亦被討論。

Individuals face various developmental crisis stages. Erikson identified the last stage in eight human developmental ones is integrity vs. despair. Those elders look back on their lives with happiness and are content, feeling fulfilled with a deep sense that life has meaning, a feeling Erikson calls integrity. Or, they might feel despair at their experiences and perceived failures. Base on the Taiwan Social Change Survey in 2005, a longitudinal study since 1990 from Academia Sinica, the researcher analyses 246 elders data age over 65 by examining the relationship between life satisfactory and various factors of successful aging. The results showed a, life satisfactory is positively correlated with various factors of successful aging; b, economic satisfactory is the best predictor of life satisfactory among the total five ones; c, gender, three age levels, and three life satisfactory levels are significantly differences in the mean scores of various successful aging factors; and d, the predictive ability of the successful aging model in the study is above chance, based on discriminative analysis. The leisure-activity factor included in the successful aging model was also discussed.
