Purpose: This study was designed to investigate the impact of the elderly's basic psychological needs and wisdom on successful aging.
Methods: The study participants were 150 elderly people aged at least fifty five years of age. The participants were drawn from six welfare centers serving the elderly located in Gwangju metropolitan city, Naju city, and Jeonnam province from February 2017 to March 2017. Data were collected by three self-report questionnaires measuring successful aging, basic psychological needs, and wisdom. For data analysis, SPSS/WIN 18.0 program was utilized including one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression.
Results: This study showed a positive correlation between successful aging and basic psychological needs (r=.75 p<.001), wisdom(r=.74 p<.001). In addition, successful aging has a positive correlation with autonomy (r=.32 p<.001), competence (r=.77 p<.001), and relationship (r=.73 p<.001). The competency (β=.40), relationship (β=.18), wisdom (β=.34) have a 69% (F=96.38, p<.001) explanatory power for the successful aging in the elderly.
Conclusion: The findings suggest the necessity to support the basic psychological needs of the elderly in order to support wise lives.
