In recent years, a special group of elderly migrants emerged in some developing countries, namely "trailing parents," who migrated with adult children in their later years. Lots of developing countries such as China have an increasing number of old people using mobile social media for social interaction, information, and entertainment. Based on social capital theory, we developed a research model and investigated the relationship between mobile social media use (MSMU) and social capital, social integration, and life satisfaction of trailing parents. We completed an empirical study by collecting 244 valid samples. The results show that MSMU has a positive impact on trailing parents' life satisfaction, and bonding social capital, bridging social capital and social integration are all important predictors of trailing parents' life satisfaction. Furthermore, social capital and social integration play an important chain mediation role in the relationship between MSMU and trailing parents' life satisfaction.
近年来，一些发展中国家出现了一个特殊的老年移民群体，即“随迁父母”，他们在晚年随成年子女移民。许多发展中国家，如中国，越来越多的老年人使用移动社交媒体进行社交互动、获取信息和娱乐。基于社会资本理论，我们构建了一个研究模型，考察了移动社交媒体使用（MSMU）与社会资本、社会融合以及随迁父母生活满意度之间的关系。我们通过收集 244 个有效样本完成了实证研究。结果表明，MSMU 对随迁父母的生活满意度有积极影响，联系社会资本、桥接社会资本和社会融合都是随迁父母生活满意度的重要预测指标。此外，社会资本和社会融合在 MSMU 与随迁父母生活满意度之间的关系中起着重要的链式中介作用。
