Results: There were 252 records in total, corresponding to the data of rural older adults. A multivariate linear regression was performed, finding an association with happiness in the variables of age (βa = .41; CI95% .09 - .73), socioeconomic level (βa = -.22; CI95% -.58 - .13), education level (βa = .41; CI95% .68 - 1.49), occupation (βa = .59; CI95% -.48 - 1.67), having chronic disease (βa = .42; CI95% .12 - .73), breathing difficulties (βa = -.25; CI95% -.51 - .02), joint pain (βa = .55; CI95% .26 - .83), depression symptoms (βa = -.21; CI95% -.48 - .06) or anxiety (βa = .40; CI95% .72 - .07), and social support (βa = -.27; CI95% -.52 - -.02). Discussion: this population has unfavorable socioeconomic and health conditions that impact their perception of happiness. Conclusion: happiness is a multicausal phenomenon that in older adults is part of the result of the interaction of variables and historical decisions at a political, economic, and social level. 2022 artículo científico 2011-2084 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=299072649007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2990/299072649007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2990/299072649007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2990/299072649007/299072649007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2990/299072649007/movil 10.21500/20112084.5910 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2990 International Journal of Psychological Research application/pdf Universidad de San Buenaventura International Journal of Psychological Research (Colombia) Num.1 Vol.15 |
