Before Erikson proposed the life stages, Confucius concluded an autobiographic review of his entire life in about 500 BC. Confucius' life stages may be closer to the life experiences of Chinese older adults. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the life review program on cognitive ability, life satisfaction, meaning of life, and ego integrity. The experiment was based on a single-group time-series design with a four-time test across 21 weeks. The evoking materials were horticultural activities held in seven weekly sessions. The innovative life review program was in accordance with a combination of Confucius' and Erikson's life stages. Nine participants completed all sessions. There was a significant positive effect of time on participants' cognitive ability and meaning of life after the program. A combination of Confucius' and Erikson's life stages can be more advantageous for Chinese older adults than only Erikson's life stage.
在埃里克森提出生命阶段理论之前，孔子在公元前 500 年左右对自己的一生进行了自传式回顾。孔子的生命阶段可能更接近中国老年人的生活经历。因此，本研究旨在探讨生命回顾方案对认知能力、生活满意度、生活意义和自我完整的影响。该实验基于单组时间序列设计，在 21 周内进行了四次测试。唤起材料是在七周的课程中进行的园艺活动。创新的生命回顾方案符合孔子和埃里克森生命阶段的结合。九名参与者完成了所有课程。方案后，参与者的认知能力和生活意义有显著的正向时间效应。孔子和埃里克森生命阶段的结合对中国老年人比仅埃里克森的生命阶段更有利。
