A Study of the Relationship between Parent-Child Support and the Subjective Well-Being of the Retired Workers

This study used the Well-being Scale from Memorial University of Newfoundland and the questionnaire of Family Support for older people from Beijing Normal University and surveyed 63 retired workers in Hangzhou. The results show that: the support from sons and daughters and the subjective well being of the tired workers are in a positive correlation. The service that the retired workers give to their children and their subjective well being are in a negative correlation. The material support that the retired workers give to their children has a negative prediction to their subjective well being. The emotional support from the sons and daughters has a positive prediction to the subjective well being of the retired workers.
