Notes: β = standardized path coefficients. HC = human capital; SC = social capital; FC = financial capital; GEN = generativity; PH = physical health; MH = mental health. indicates the effects of path were significant. CI = 95% confidence interval produced from bootstrapping procedures. *** p < 0.001, ** p < 0.01, * p < 0.05, p < 0.10.
