<![CDATA[From the perspective of the developmental stage, as humans age, retirees experience physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes. There has been dearth of researches that explore the mediation of social support (SS) on regrets and quality of life (QOL) and its interplay in one framework, aiming to: (1) describe the extent of regrets, QOL, and SS of the Filipino Lasallian retirees; (2) determine that regrets predict QOL; (3) determine that SS predicts regrets; (4) determine that SS predicts QOL; and (5) determine the mediating role of SS between regrets and QOL. Using JASP/JAMOVI, correlational coefficient and mediation analysis were employed to test the hypotheses anchored with developmental self-regulation, activity, and continuity theories. Standardized scales were utilized on 103 Lasallian retirees. It reveals that SS, as a mediator, significantly buffers the impact of regrets on QOL. There is an interplay among the three variables. It underscores the importance of SS in mitigating the negative effects of regrets and enhancing QOL among older adults. Thus, the results can be used to create retirement plans and policies as interventions suited to the needs and attributes of Lasallian Filipino retirees.]]>
