OBJECTIVE
To examine associations between sleep disturbance, social support, and social comparison among midlife and older adults, including the moderating role of gender.
METHODS
Adults ages ≥40 years (= 557, = 57, 53% men) completed a cross-sectional survey including validated measures of sleep disturbance, perceptions of social support, and social comparison orientation.
RESULTS
Sleep disturbance was negatively associated with social support (s = -0.42 to - 0.33, s = 0.001) and associations were stronger for men than women - particularly perceived support from friends ( = 0.01). Sleep disturbance was also associated with upward comparison orientation (= 0.12, = 0.003), more strongly for women than men ( = 0.01).
DISCUSSION
Findings indicate that perceived support from friends (for men) and upward comparison (for women) may have particular influence on sleep among midlife and older adults. Additional work is needed to clarify the nature of these associations and their mechanism(s) of action, to inform potential treatment adaptations for this population.
目的
研究中年及老年人群睡眠障碍、社会支持和社会比较之间的关联，包括性别的调节作用。
方法
年龄≥40岁的成年人（n = 557，平均年龄 = 57岁，53%为男性）完成了一项横断面调查，其中包括经过验证的睡眠障碍、社会支持感知和社会比较取向的测量。
结果
睡眠障碍与社会支持呈负相关（r = -0.42至 -0.33，p = 0.001），男性的相关性比女性更强——尤其是来自朋友的感知支持（p = 0.01）。睡眠障碍还与向上比较取向相关（r = 0.12，p = 0.003），女性的相关性比男性更强（p = 0.01）。
讨论
研究结果表明，来自朋友的感知支持（对男性而言）和向上比较（对女性而言）可能对中年及老年人群的睡眠有特别影响。需要进一步开展工作以阐明这些关联的性质及其作用机制，为该人群的潜在治疗调整提供依据。
