【摘要】：采用年龄认同问卷、流调中心用抑郁量表、焦虑自评量表和生活满意度量表对646位老年人进行问卷调查,考察我国老年人年龄认同的特征及其与心理健康之间的关系。结果表明:(1)老年人感觉自己比实际年龄年轻的人数比例为55.7%,平均年轻4.07年。实际年龄和自评健康对老年人的年龄认同有显著影响。(2)回归分析结果表明,在控制了性别、受教育水平、自评健康等变量后,年龄认同仍然对老年人的心理健康有显著影响,表现在对其焦虑和抑郁情绪有显著的负向预测作用,对其生活满意度水平有显著的正向预测作用。综上,我国老年人年龄认同存在年轻化偏向,而且这种年轻化偏向程度越强,老年人的焦虑和抑郁情绪越少,生活满意度水平越高。这意味着可以采取适当干预措施促使老年人保持年轻化的年龄认同,这可能将有助于改善老年人的心理健康状况。
[Abstract]:646 elderly people were investigated with age identity questionnaire, flow center depression scale, self-rating anxiety scale and life satisfaction scale to investigate the characteristics of age identity and the relationship between age identity and mental health in China. The results showed that: (1) the proportion of elderly people who felt younger than their actual age was 55.7%, with an average of 4.07% younger. The actual age and self-rated health had significant effects on the age identity of the elderly. (2) the results of regression analysis showed that after controlling the variables such as sex, education level and self-assessment of health, age identity still had a significant impact on the mental health of the elderly, which showed that it had a significant negative predictive effect on their anxiety and depression, and had a significant positive predictive effect on their life satisfaction level. To sum up, there is a younger bias in the age identity of the elderly in China, and the stronger the degree of rejuvenation bias, the less anxiety and depression of the elderly, and the higher the level of life satisfaction. This means that appropriate interventions can be taken to promote the younger age identity of older persons, which may help to improve the mental health of older persons.
