In this study, we investigated role psychological resilience in mediating relationship between positive self-perceptions aging (SPA) and subjective (SWB) community-dwelling Taiwan during pandemic.

More than half study were female, 65 older, had less high school education. two thirds married and/or living with partners. third more noncommunicable diseases. calculated scores for SWB, SPA, examined correlations among outcome predictor variables. Our findings indicated that higher SPA was significantly associated better SWB association mediated by resilience. Specifically, after controlling covariates, structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis revealed main effect on (b = 0.412, β 0187, $p<0.001$ ), while bootstrap mediation showed statistically indirect via (0.597, 95% CIs [0.445, 0.749], id="M2">p ).
