This study aims to examine the association between intergenerational support and self-rated health (SRH) levels using data collected from Chinese older adults residing in Honolulu, United States ( = 329). We also investigated the mediating role of resilience and the moderating role of gender in the association. We found that receiving emotional support was significantly and positively associated with better SRH for the whole sample. The positive effect of receiving emotional support on health was significant among older women only. In contrast, the beneficial effect of providing economic support on health was significant among older men only. We found that resilience significantly mediated the positive effect of received emotional support on SRH, and this effect was found for the whole sample and among older women. However, resilience did not mediate the positive effect of the economic support provided on SRH among older men.
本研究旨在利用从居住在美国檀香山的中国老年人（ = 329）收集的数据，考察代际支持与自评健康（SRH）水平之间的关联。我们还研究了心理韧性的中介作用以及性别在该关联中的调节作用。我们发现，对于整个样本而言，获得情感支持与更好的自评健康显著正相关。获得情感支持对健康的积极影响仅在老年女性中显著。相比之下，提供经济支持对健康的有益影响仅在老年男性中显著。我们发现，心理韧性显著中介了获得情感支持对自评健康的积极影响，且在整个样本和老年女性中均发现了这种影响。然而，心理韧性并未中介老年男性提供的经济支持对自评健康的积极影响。
