| description | Prior research on the psychosocial factors of subjective well-being as one of the key
indicators of ageing well was mainly conducted in Western cultures and with little emphasis on
mechanisms underlying older adults’ subjective well-being. This correlational study
aimed to determine the association of adult attachment, relationship quality,
religiosity, filial responsibility, self-esteem, and emotional regulation with subjective
well-being; the direct effects of filial responsibility, self- esteem, and emotional regulation
on subjective well-being after controlling for the influences of covariates; and the
mediating effects of self-esteem and emotional regulation on the relationship between filial
responsibility and subjective well-being. Multistage cluster random sampling method was utilised to
collect data from 400 older adults from Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The Concise Measure of
Subjective Wellbeing (COMOSWB), The Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Scale
(ECR-RS), Affective Scale, Revised Intrinsic/Extrinsic Religious Orientation Scale (I/E-R), filial
expectation and filial behaviour scales, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and The Emotional
Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were administrated to the respondents through the interview
method. The results showed that adult attachment, relationship quality, religiosity, filial
behaviour, self-esteem, and emotional regulation were significantly while filial expectation
was not significantly associated with subjective well-being. Filial behaviour of respect,
self-esteem and emotional regulation were major predictors of subjective well-being after
controlling for the influences of covariates. These variables explained 72% of the variability
in subjective well-being. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that self-esteem and cognitive
reappraisal of emotional regulation partially mediated the relationship between filial behaviour of
respect but failed to function as significant mediators on the association of filial
expectation and filial behaviour of daily maintenance with subjective well-being. Besides,
suppression of emotional regulation did not show a mediating effect on the relationship between
filial responsibility and subjective well-being. Overall, this study provides valuable insights regarding the importance of eldest sons’ filial behaviour of
respect in their older parent’s lives and highlights the roles of self-esteem and
emotional regulation in the relationship between filial responsibility and older adults
