The role of perceived social support in subjective wellbeing among working-age U.S. adults with and without limitations in activities of daily living.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perceived social support may enhance subjective wellbeing (SWB) for adults with activities of daily living (ADL) limitations. However, little is known about how social support may mediate (explain) and/or moderate SWB differences among U.S. working-age adults with versus without ADL limitations.

Objective

This study examines the role of perceived emotional and instrumental support in hedonic, eudaimonic, and evaluative wellbeing among adults with and without ADL limitations.

Methods

Data were from the 2021 National Wellbeing Survey - a national survey of U.S. working-age adults aged 18-64 (N = 3775). We used regression analyses to investigate differences in hedonic, eudaimonic, and evaluative wellbeing between individuals with versus without ADL limitations
