Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 217 elderly people using the Social Support Rating Scale, Social Well-being Scale, and Coping Strategies Scale. Results: 1) Social support, control strategies, and social well-being were significantly positively correlated with each other. 2) Control strategies played a partial mediating role in the relationship between social support and social well-being, accounting for 46.93% of the total effect. Specifically, selective secondary control strategies mediated the predictive effect of social support on social well-being. Conclusion: Social support is an influencing factor of social well-being, and control strategies may serve as one of the intrinsic mechanisms through which social support affects the social well-being of the elderly.
