Abstract

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 (N = 557, MAge = 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 (rs = -0.42 to - 0.33, ps = 0.001) and associations were stronger for men than women - particularly perceived support from friends (η ² = 0.01). Sleep disturbance was also associated with upward comparison orientation (r = 0.12, p = 0.003), more strongly for women than men (η ² = 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.

中老年人在社会比较、社会支持和睡眠障碍之间关系的性别差异。

目的：研究中老年人睡眠障碍、社会支持和社会比较之间的关系，包括性别的调节作用：研究中老年人睡眠障碍、社会支持和社会比较之间的关系，包括性别的调节作用：年龄≥40岁的成年人（N = 557，MAge = 57，53%为男性）完成了一项横断面调查，包括睡眠障碍、社会支持感和社会比较取向的有效测量：睡眠障碍与社会支持呈负相关（rs = -0.42 至 -0.33，ps = 0.001），男性比女性的相关性更强，尤其是感知到的来自朋友的支持（η 2 = 0.01）。睡眠障碍还与向上比较取向相关（r = 0.12，p = 0.003），女性比男性的相关性更强（η 2 = 0.01）：讨论：研究结果表明，感知到的朋友支持（男性）和向上比较（女性）可能会对中老年人的睡眠产生特殊影响。还需要做更多的工作来澄清这些关联的性质及其作用机制，以便为这一人群的潜在治疗调整提供信息。
