This study aimed to explore the relationship between online social participation and depressive symptoms in middle-aged and older adults and its underlying mechanism. A total of 1063 urban middle-aged and older adults aged 50 and above completed a set of questionnaires including SNS Older Adults Measure, Short Form of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction Scale and Social Network Scale. The results showed that: 1) online social participation had a significant negative prediction on depression symptoms in middle-aged and older adults; 2) autonomy, competence and relatedness needs satisfaction played complete mediating roles in the relationship between online social participation and depressive symptoms; 3) the first half path of the mediating effect of “online social participation - basic psychological need satisfaction - depressive symptoms” was moderated by social network size.
