“…Relative to the magnitudes of correlations typically found in the behavioral sciences (Cohen, 1988), the associations that were found between PGCMS total scores with family support and with objective non-family support represent medium-sized correlations. This finding is in accordance with previous findings consistently reported in the aging literature regarding the relationship between social support with morale in particular and subjective well being in general (Ho et al, 1995;Kim et al, 2000;Litwin, 2001;Yoo, 2004). However, in the multivariate regression analysis only family support was an independent predictor for PGCMS total scores.…”

“…The PGMCS total score includes the construct of well being as a subjective measure even though its original design measures only morale. For this reason, we have also examined other variables as potential predictors of subjective well-being selected on the basis of other experiences in the literature regarding factors associated with subjective well-being in the elderly (Ho et al, 1995;Kim et al, 2000;Litwin, 2001;Yasunaga and Tokunaga, 2001;Yoo, 2004;Vinkers et al, 2006). These included social support and indicators of age-related declines in functioning that were also measured in the Swedish study (von Heideken Wagert et al, 2005).…”
