This study aimed to examine the moderating effect of gender on the effect of spousal and child relationship satisfaction on successful aging among older adults. For the analysis, the sample was 2,862 individuals (1,611 males and 1,251 females) aged 65 or older with a spouse and at least a child, who participated in the sixth wave (2016) of the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing. The independent variable was spousal relationship satisfaction and child relationship satisfaction, and the dependent variable was successful aging. Gender was included as moderating variable and age, educational level, household income, number of surviving children, economic condition satisfaction were controlled for. A multiple regression analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0. The Analysis showed that the moderating effect of gender on the effect of child relationship satisfaction on successful aging was significant. Then, further analysis of this showed that the higher the child relationship satisfaction, the more successfully the female older adults age compared to the male older adults. The results of this study are meaningful in that successful aging has been examined by gender and it empirically verified the importance of family relationships in later life.
