The Relationship between Positive Emotional Styles with Life Expectancy and Mediation of Quality of Life in Older Men

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between positive transsexual styles and life expectancy and mediation of quality of life in male seniors. Methodology: This study was a descriptive-correlational study that was conducted to investigate the mediating role of quality of life in relation to positive metaphysical styles with life expectancy in male seniors. The statistical population of this study included all elderly men over 60 years of age in the Neishabour Welfare Department. The sample of the present study included 132 of these elderly people who were selected as available samples. Beck, Hoe per (2009), Snyder, et al (1991) Life Hope Questionnaire and the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (1998) were used to collect information. Data were analyzed and analyzed based on structural equations and correlation coefficients. Findings: The direct effect of positive transcendental styles on life expectancy was 0.425 with a significance level of 0.008 and the indirect effect of positive transcendental styles on life expectancy was 0.404 and the corresponding significance level was lower considering the quality of life of the elderly. It is from 0.05, so the mediating role of quality of life is confirmed. The results of regression analysis and structural equations showed that there was a relationship between positive metaphysical styles with life expectancy and median quality of life in male seniors. (P<0.001). The results also showed that the role of quality of life in the relationship between positive metaphysical positive meta-sympathy and meta-interest with life expectancy was partial. (P<0.001). Conclusion: Findings from this study show that extra-emotional styles such as being pleasant, sociable, restraining, and accepting a change in quality of life in older men increase their chances of experiencing a higher life expectancy.
