Abstract

Objectives: This study investigated whether the relationship between thwarted belongingness and depressive symptoms was moderated by self-warmth and self-coldness and whether the moderating effects were conditional on place of residence (urban versus rural).

Methods: A sample of 236 Australian adults aged 65 to 97 years (M = 73.63, SD = 6.53) completed the Geriatric Depression Scale, Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire, and Self-Compassion Scale.

Results: The interaction between thwarted belongingness and self-warmth was significant for urban but not rural older adults. For urban older adults, the relationship between thwarted belongingness and depressive symptoms weakened as levels of self-warmth increased. The association between thwarted belongingness and depressive symptoms was significantly stronger for older adults living in rural areas than in urban areas. The relationship between thwarted belongingness and depressive symptoms strengthened as self-coldness levels increased.

Conclusions: Self-warmth is a protective factor for older adults living in urban areas and experiencing thwarted belongingness. Self-coldness is an additional risk factor for older adults experiencing thwarted belongingness.

Clinical implications: Interventions focusing on increasing self-warmth among urban older adults and decreasing self-coldness among older adults might weaken the relationship between thwarted belongingness and depressive symptoms.

老年人归属感受挫与抑郁症状：自我温暖、自我冷漠和居住地的调节作用。

研究目的本研究调查了归属感受挫与抑郁症状之间的关系是否受到自我温暖和自我冷漠的调节，以及调节作用是否取决于居住地（城市与农村）：236名年龄在65至97岁之间的澳大利亚成年人（中位数=73.63，标准差=6.53）完成了老年抑郁量表、人际需求问卷和自我同情量表：城市老年人归属感受挫与自我温暖之间的交互作用显著，而农村老年人则不显著。对于城市老年人来说，随着自我温暖程度的增加，归属感受挫与抑郁症状之间的关系也会减弱。农村老年人的归属感受挫与抑郁症状之间的关系明显强于城市老年人。归属感受挫与抑郁症状之间的关系随着自我冷漠程度的增加而加强：结论：对于生活在城市地区且归属感受挫的老年人来说，自我温暖是一个保护因素。自我冷漠是老年人归属感受挫的另一个风险因素：临床意义：干预措施的重点是提高城市老年人的自我温暖度和降低老年人的自我冷漠度，这可能会削弱归属感受挫与抑郁症状之间的关系。
