摘要

在这项研究中，我们使用了5669名年龄在60至79岁之间的中国成年人的人口统计数据，这些数据来自2018年中国家庭小组研究。采用倾向评分匹配法分析为成年子女提供经济支持和工具支持对父母抑郁症状的影响。我们还测试了这种影响的性别差异。结果显示，提供经济支持与男性出现抑郁症状的风险显著相关，但与女性无关。相比之下，提供辅助支持降低了男性和女性出现抑郁症状的风险。这些研究结果提示，成年子女应减少对父母的经济依赖，并鼓励父母通过适当的工具支持来帮助成年子女，这可以促进父母??儿童交流和减少老年人抑郁症状的风险。

Financial and instrumental support for adult children and depressive symptoms among older adults in China: Does gender make a difference?

For this study we used the demographic data of 5,669 Chinese adults aged between 60 and 79 years, drawn from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies. The propensity score matching method was used to analyze the effect of providing financial and instrumental support for adult sons and daughters on the depressive symptoms of parents. We also tested for gender differences in this effect. The results showed that providing financial support was significantly associated with greater risk of depressive symptoms in men but not in women. By contrast, providing instrumental support reduced the risk of depressive symptoms in both men and women. These findings suggest that adult children should reduce their financial dependence on their parents and that parents should be encouraged to help their adult children by carrying out suitable instrumental support, which could promote parent???child communication and reduce risk of depressive symptoms in older adults.
