摘要
本研究以社会支持理论和社会老年学为框架,调查了社会活动对老年人延迟记忆的影响。通过比较中美两国人群,我们旨在填补该课题跨文化研究的空白。利用中国健康与退休纵向研究(China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study)和美国健康与退休研究(U.S. Health and Retirement Study)的数据,我们使用 Stata 18.0 进行了定量分析。我们发现,在两种文化中,互联网使用、纸牌游戏和志愿者工作等社交活动都能显著增强延迟记忆。然而,文化差异会影响在不同背景下更普遍的社交活动类型,并影响其对认知健康的影响程度。在中国,纸牌游戏对延迟记忆的影响更大,而在美国,志愿者工作和互联网使用的影响更为明显。这些研究结果凸显了针对不同文化的干预措施以及家庭和社区支持系统在促进老年人认知健康方面的综合作用的重要性。
Influence of social activities on delayed memory in older adults: A cross-cultural study
This study investigated the impact of social activities on delayed memory among older adults, framed within Social Support Theory and Social Gerontology. By comparing Chinese and American populations, we aim to fill a gap in the cross-cultural research on this topic. Using data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study and the U.S. Health and Retirement Study, we employed quantitative analysis with Stata 18.0. We discovered that social activities like internet use, card games, and volunteer work significantly enhance delayed memory across both cultures. However, cultural differences influence the types of social activities that are more prevalent in each context and affect the degree of their impact on cognitive health. In China, card games had a stronger effect on delayed memory, while in the United States, volunteer work and internet use exerted a more pronounced impact. These findings highlight the importance of culturally tailored interventions and the combined role of family and community support systems in promoting cognitive health among older adults.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
