摘要
本研究旨在探讨互联网使用对老年人心理健康的影响机制,重点关注互联网通过社会公平感和社会政治参与所产生的中介效应,以及社会公平感的链式中介效应。研究基于2010年至2021年间四轮中国综合社会调查(CGSS)数据,采用结构方程模型进行实证分析。研究结果表明,互联网使用对老年人心理健康具有显著的正面影响,这种影响主要通过提升社会公平感和增强政治参与来实现。此外,社会公平感与老年人的社会政治参与程度呈正相关,并通过后者对其心理健康产生链式中介效应。值得注意的是,高龄老年群体(80—90岁)的互联网使用率较低,与其心理健康相关性较低,但其心理健康水平仍可通过社会公平感这一结构性因素得以改善。本研究为理解互联网对老年人心理健康的作用提供了新的理论视角,并对促进老年人社会参与和提升心理健康水平具有重要的实践意义。
This paper aims to explore the mechanisms through which internet usage influences the psychological health of senior citizens,with a particular focus on the mediation effects of perceived social fairness and socio-political participation,as well as the chain mediation effect of perceived social fairness.Using data from four waves of the China General Social Survey(CGSS)conducted between 2010 and 2021,structural equation modeling is employed for empirical analysis.The results indicate that internet usage has a significant positive impact on the psychological health of senior citizens,primarily by enhancing their sense of social fairness and increasing their socio-political participation.Additionally,perceived social fairness is positively associated with the degree of socio-political participation,which in turn exerts a chain mediation effect on psychological health.Notably,the internet usage rate among the oldest senior citizens(aged 8090)is relatively low,and its correlation with their psychological health is weaker.However,their psychological health can still be improved through structural factors such as perceived social fairness.This paper offers a new theoretical perspective for understanding the role of internet usage in senior citizens' psychological well-being and provides practical insights for promoting social participation and enhancing mental health among senior citizens.
