ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyze the mediator effect of self-efficacy and the moderator effect of social support in relation to successful aging influenced by leisure activities offered by elderly welfare centers in South Korea. A total of 478 people aged 60 or older participated in the survey and 450 of them were used for analysis. Regression analyses were used to verify the mediator and moderator effects. According to the results of the analysis, leisure activities help increase self-efficacy and improve successful aging. Self-efficacy had mediator effects in the relationship between leisure activities and successful aging, while social support had moderator effects in the relationship between self-efficacy and successful aging. The findings suggested that the club activities in elderly welfare centers should be further expanded with various programs that encourage purpose-driven activities to improve self-efficacy and contact opportunities between generations to strengthen social support.
