This study aimed to investigate the relationship between social isolation, perceived ageism and subjective well-being among rural Chinese older adults and its mechanisms of action.
A total of 403 rural resident older adults were surveyed from March to April 2024. Data were collected using the General Information Questionnaire, the General Alienation Scale (GAS), the Perceived Ageism Questionnaire (PAQ), and the Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH). SPSS 27.0 and PROCESS macro were used to analyze the data.
Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation (p<0.01) between subjective well-being and social isolation (r = -0.720) and perceived ageism (r = -0.661) among rural older adults. Perceived ageism partially mediated the effect between social isolation and subjective well-being in rural older adults, and the mediating effect accounted for 29.9 % of the total effect (p<0.001).
Social isolation can reduce the subjective well-being of rural older adults through perceived ageism.
本研究旨在探讨农村老年人群体中社会隔离、感知年龄歧视与主观幸福感之间的关系及其作用机制。
2024 年 3 月至 4 月，对 403 名农村居民老年人群体进行了调查。采用一般信息问卷、一般疏远量表（GAS）、感知年龄歧视问卷（PAQ）和纽芬兰纪念大学幸福量表（MUNSH）收集数据。采用 SPSS 27.0 和 PROCESS 宏对数据进行分析。
Pearson 相关分析显示，农村老年人群体的主观幸福感与社会隔离（r=-0.720）和感知年龄歧视（r=-0.661）呈显著负相关（p<0.01）。感知年龄歧视在社会隔离与农村老年人群体主观幸福感之间存在部分中介效应，中介效应占总效应的 29.9%（p<0.001）。
社会隔离可以通过感知年龄歧视降低农村老年人群体的主观幸福感。
