This study examines the relationship of self-efficacy and social support to adjustment in aging. Fifty-two community residents participated in an initial structured interview and a follow-up interview one year later. Measures of depression and self-efficacy relating to social support were included in the initial interview, with measures of depression and actual social support included at follow-up. Results showed that initial self-efficacy was related to social support one year later. A path analysis showed that self-efficacy functions directly as well as indirectly through its effect on social support in preventing depression. A partial correlational analysis showed that the relationships between initial self-efficacy and depression one year later and between social support and depression at follow-up hold when ongoing depression is controlled.
本研究考察了自我效能感和社会支持与老年人适应能力之间的关系。52名社区居民参与了初始结构化访谈，并在一年后接受了随访访谈。初始访谈中纳入了与社会支持相关的抑郁和自我效能感测量指标，随访时则纳入了抑郁和实际社会支持的测量指标。结果显示，初始自我效能感与一年后的社会支持相关。路径分析表明，自我效能感在预防抑郁方面既直接发挥作用，也通过其对社会支持的影响间接发挥作用。偏相关分析表明，在控制持续存在的抑郁后，初始自我效能感与一年后的抑郁之间以及随访时社会支持与抑郁之间的关系依然成立。
