Abstract
KHODARAHIMI, Siamak; GHADAMPOUR, Ezatolah and KARAMI, Amir. The roles of spiritual well-being and tolerance of uncertainty in prediction of happiness in elderly. Anal. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.37, n.2, pp.371-377. Epub June 21, 2021. ISSN 1695-2294. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/analesps.37.2.446871.
Background:
According to spirituality well-being, ambiguity intolerance, and happiness conceptualizations, this study was purposed to investigate the influences of spiritual well-being and uncertainty tolerance on happiness with regards to the moderating roles of sex in the elderly.
Method:
Participants included 120 elders from Shiraz City, Fars province, Iran. A demographic questionnaire, the Spiritual Well-Being Inventory (SWBI), the Multiple Stimulus Types Ambiguity Tolerance Scale-II (MSTAT-II), and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHI) were used for data collection.
Results:
Findings showed that spirituality well-being and uncertainty intolerance explain 60% of happiness variation in the elderly. But results rejected the role of sex on the prediction of happiness in the present study.
Conclusion:
This study demonstrates the predictive roles of spiritual well-being and ambiguity tolerance on happiness in the field of gerontology.
