Abstract

The current study examined changes and variation in self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and how these perceptions vary according to sources of support and strain from spouses, children, family, and friends. We used random intercept cross-lagged panel models to model within-person changes in SPA and support/strain over twelve years (2008-2020) among 22,160 older adults from the Health and Retirement Study. There was a bidirectional, positive association between spousal support and SPA. More positive SPA was associated with lower spousal strain, though spousal strain did not affect SPA. Surprisingly, higher strain from other family members and friends was associated with more positive SPA; support from these sources did not affect SPA. Lastly, child support and strain were unrelated to SPA. These findings highlight the complex interactions between social relationships and aging perceptions. Future studies should explore cognitive, psychological, or physiological mechanisms and outcomes underlying each relational contributor of SPA.

社会支持、社会压力与老年自我认知。
目前的研究调查了衰老自我认知的变化和变化,以及这些认知如何根据配偶、孩子、家人和朋友的支持和压力来源而变化。我们使用随机截距交叉滞后面板模型来模拟来自健康与退休研究的22160名老年人在12年(2008-2020年)期间SPA和支持/压力的个人变化。配偶支持与SPA之间存在双向正相关。积极的SPA与较低的配偶压力相关,但配偶压力不影响SPA。令人惊讶的是,来自其他家庭成员和朋友的压力越大,SPA越积极;这些来源的支持对SPA没有影响。最后,子女抚养费和压力与SPA无关。这些发现强调了社会关系和衰老认知之间复杂的相互作用。未来的研究应该探索SPA的认知、心理或生理机制和结果。

期刊介绍: Research on Aging is an interdisciplinary journal designed to reflect the expanding role of research in the field of social gerontology. Research on Aging exists to provide for publication of research in the broad range of disciplines concerned with aging. Scholars from the disciplines of sociology, geriatrics, history, psychology, anthropology, public health, economics, political science, criminal justice, and social work are encouraged to contribute articles to the journal. Emphasis will be on materials of broad scope and cross-disciplinary interest. Assessment of the current state of knowledge is as important as provision of an outlet for new knowledge, so critical and review articles are welcomed. Systematic attention to particular topics will also be featured.
