摘要

广泛的研究表明,老年人对衰老的看法对他们的健康有影响,但很少有研究调查年轻人对衰老的看法的影响。个人对衰老的看法早在童年时期就形成了。我们期望年轻人对衰老的正面看法能提高他们的适应力水平,而控制感在其中起中介作用,这反映了他们对自己未来的正面看法。两项研究是用两种不同的中国年轻人样本进行的。研究1将对老年人的态度作为老龄化观的指标,发现对老年人的积极态度与较高的弹性水平相关,并且这种效应是由较强的控制感介导的。研究2评估了四项不同的老龄化观指标(对老年人的态度、老龄化焦虑、敌意年龄歧视和善意年龄歧视)。除善意年龄歧视外,青年对老年人的积极态度、年龄焦虑程度和敌意年龄歧视程度均与弹性水平升高相关,且均通过控制感介导。无论这四项指标是在单独的模型中测试还是在同一模型中同时测试,结果都是相似的。研究结果强调了积极的老龄化观对年轻人心理调整的重要性。对衰老的积极看法可以作为年轻人宝贵的个人资源,以确保控制生活,即使面对逆境也能保持高昂的头。

When a bright future is in mind: Young adults’ positive views on aging contribute to resilience through enhanced sense of control
Extensive research has revealed that older adults’ views on aging are influential to their well-being, but fewer studies have examined the effects of young adults’ views on aging. Individuals’ views on aging form as early as childhood. Reflecting a positive outlook about one's own future, we expect young adults’ positive views on aging to contribute to their resilience level, with sense of control mediating the effect. Two studies were conducted with two different samples of Chinese young adults. Study 1 assessed attitudes toward older adults as the indicator of views on aging and found that more positive attitudes toward older adults were related to a higher level of resilience, and the effect was mediated by a stronger sense of control. Study 2 assessed four different indicators of views on aging (attitudes toward older adults, aging anxiety, hostile ageism, and benevolent ageism). Except for benevolent ageism, young adults’ more positive attitudes toward older adults, less aging anxiety, and lower levels of hostile ageism were all related to higher levels of resilience, and the effects were all mediated by sense of control. The results were similar regardless of whether the four indicators were tested in separate models or simultaneously in the same model. The findings highlight the importance of positive views on aging for young adults’ psychological adjustment. Positive views on aging can serve as a valuable personal resource for young adults to ensure control in life and keep their heads high even facing adversities.
