Perceived Social Support Mediates the Effects of Residence Identification on Sense of Control in Older Adults: A Longitudinal Model

Abstract

Abstract: A survey was conducted among 281 older adults, to explore the relationship among residence identification, perceived social support and sense of control of the elderly. We used the Residence Identification Questionnaire, Perceived Social Support Scale and Sense of Control Questionnaire, and took a longitudinal design, within an interval of six months. The results showed that: 1) in the elderly’s group, residence identification could positively predict perceived social support; 2) perceived social support could positively predict sense of control; 3) perceived social support could mediate the relationship between residence identification and sense of control. Theoretically, our results proved that the internal mechanism of the effects of residence identification on sense of control is reasonable in the elderly city residents’ group. Practically, our research provided an insight into how we can improve the sense of control of the elderly.

Key words: the elderly, residence identification, perceived social support, sense of control

摘要： 本研究以281名老年人为研究对象，探讨了城市变迁中的老年人居住地情感认同、领悟社会支持和控制感的关系。研究使用居住地情感认同问卷、领悟社会支持问卷和控制感问卷为研究工具，采用每次间隔6个月，共3次的纵向追踪设计。结果发现：老年人的居住地情感认同可以正向预测领悟社会支持，老年人的领悟社会支持可以正向预测控制感，老年人的领悟社会支持在居住地情感认同和控制感之间起纵向中介作用。本研究结果揭示了城市老年居民的居住地情感认同对控制感的影响机制，也对提升城市老年居民的控制感具有一定的实践意义。
