This study aimed to explore the effect of subjective age on loneliness in old adults, and the mediating role of resilience and self-esteem in subjective age and loneliness.
Approximately 450 old adults from Jiangxi, Hunan, Henan provinces completed the third edition of the Loneliness Scale (UCLA-LS III), Age Decade Scale (ADS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), and Self-Esteem Scale (SES).
(1) Subjective age was significantly positively correlated with loneliness. (2) Resilience, self-esteem, and loneliness were significantly negatively correlated. (3) Subjective age affected loneliness through the mediating effects of resilience and self-esteem, respectively. (4) Resilience and self-esteem played a chain mediating role between subjective age and loneliness.
Resilience and self-esteem can directly affect the loneliness of the old adults alone and can also affect the loneliness of the old adults through the chain mediating effect of resilience and self-esteem.

来自江西、湖南、河南三省的 450 名老年人完成了孤独感量表(UCLA-LS III)、年龄十年量表(ADS)、Connor-Davidson 韧性量表(CD-RISC)和自尊量表(SES)的第三版。
(1)主观年龄与孤独感呈显著正相关。(2)韧性、自尊与孤独感呈显著负相关。(3)主观年龄通过韧性和自尊的中介作用影响孤独感。(4)韧性和自尊在主观年龄与孤独感之间发挥了链式中介作用。
韧性和自尊可以单独直接影响老年人的孤独感,也可以通过韧性和自尊的链式中介作用影响老年人的孤独感。
