This exploratory study concerns the relationship between self-efficacy and depressive symptomatology in older adults. Two hundred community-residing older adults were administered the Depression Adjective Checklist and three self-efficacy scales over the telephone. The results suggest a strong relationship between general, physical, and global self-efficacy and depression. Finally, physical and general self-efficacy were identified as the strongest predictors of depression. Implications of self-efficacy theory in relation to depressive symptoms as well as suggested practice implications are presented.
这项探索性研究关注老年人自我效能感与抑郁症状之间的关系。通过电话对200名居住在社区的老年人进行了抑郁形容词检查表和三个自我效能感量表的测试。结果表明，一般自我效能感、身体自我效能感和总体自我效能感与抑郁之间存在密切关系。最后，身体自我效能感和一般自我效能感被确定为抑郁的最强预测因素。文中阐述了自我效能感理论与抑郁症状的关联以及建议的实践意义。
