Abstract

This study aims to explore the association between community-based social capital, namely clan identity and sense of community (SOC), and perceived neighbourhood walkability (PNW) in relation to depressive symptoms among rural older adults in urbanisation. A sample of 489 older adults in an urbanising county of Western China participated and moderated mediation analysis was utilised. PNW was negatively associated with depressive symptoms, and SOC mediated the focal association. Moreover, clan identity was found as a moderator of the direct effect of PNW on depressive symptoms as well as on the indirect effect of the association through SOC. Specifically, the negative role of higher PNW on depressive symptoms was observed for older adults without clan identity. Also, clan identity significantly buffered the positive association between PNW and SOC. The study revealed the significant role of community-based social capital in the association between PNW and depressive symptoms among the elderly experiencing urbanisation.

城市化中农村老年人邻里步行感与抑郁症状：社区社会资本的作用

本研究旨在探讨以社区为基础的社会资本，即宗族认同和社区意识（SOC），以及感知邻里步行能力（PNW）与城市化中农村老年人抑郁症状的关系。以中国西部某县489名老年人为研究对象，采用有调节的中介分析方法。PNW与抑郁症状呈负相关，SOC介导了局灶性关联。此外，本研究还发现，家族认同可以调节PNW对抑郁症状的直接影响，以及通过SOC产生的间接影响。具体而言，高PNW对没有家族身份的老年人抑郁症状的负面作用被观察到。此外，宗族认同显著缓冲了PNW与SOC之间的正相关关系。该研究揭示了社区社会资本在经历城市化的老年人的PNW和抑郁症状之间的关联中的重要作用。
