人口老龄化是 21 世纪不可逆转的客观事实，据 2010 年第六次人口普查的统计数据， 我国 60 岁及以上人口占全国总人口的比重已上升到 13.26%，我国老年人口比重逐年增 大。抑郁作为老年人群体中最常见的精神疾病，在全球范围内引起了社会各界的重视。 老年抑郁既可能表现为严重的抑郁，又可能是以抑郁情绪为特征的轻微抑郁情绪。在日 常生活中，老年人及其家人对抑郁情绪的识别意识较弱，缺乏缓解和疏导工作，导致老 年人的抑郁情绪逐渐增强甚至引起精神障碍。随着年龄的增长，老年人的生理、心理、 社会功能发生变化，特别是退出工作岗位以后，老年人更倾向于将精力和情感等个人资 源更多地投向家庭。在这个过程易产生失衡感、失落、焦虑等不良情绪，都可能成为引 发老年抑郁的原因。因此，为了缓解和避免老年人的抑郁情绪， 升晚年生活幸福感， 我们应该密切关注老年人的抑郁情绪的变化。 本研究在社会情感选择理论的指导下，运用 2015 年中国健康与养老追踪调查 (CHARLS)数据的研究当代中国老年人的抑郁情绪状况。运用量化方法分析我国老年人 抑郁情绪的总体情况，探究代际关系满意度与老年人抑郁情绪的关系，以及代际支持中 的金钱支持、实物支持和孙辈照料在老年人与子女间的代际关系满意度与老年抑郁情绪 之间的作用。 通过对样本筛选，共计 1701 个样本进入本次研究范围，通过 述性统计、相关性分 析以及中介效果检验的方法，得出以下结论: (1) 总体上，老年人的抑郁情绪得分偏高，说明具有产生抑郁情绪风险; (2) 代际关系满意度与老年抑郁情绪呈负相关，老年人对代际关系的满意度越高，抑 郁情绪的得分越低; (3) 代际支持中的金钱支持、实物支持和孙辈照料均不能在代际关系满意度与老年抑 郁情绪之间起到中介作用。

The aging of the population is an objective fact of irreversibility in the 21st century. According to the statistics of the sixth census in 2010, the proportion of China's population aged 60 and over to the total population of the country has risen to 13.26%, and the proportion of the elderly population in China has increased year by year. As the most common mental illness in the elderly population, depression has attracted the attention of all walks of life in the world. Older depression may be characterized by severe depression or a mild depression characterized by depression. In daily life, the elderly and their families have a weaker awareness of depression, and lack of relief and counseling work, leading to an increase in depression and even mental disorders. With the increase of age, the physical, psychological and social functions of the elderly have changed. Especially after exiting from work, the elderly are more inclined to invest more personal resources such as energy and emotions in the family. In this process, it is easy to cause unbalanced feelings such as imbalance, loss, anxiety, etc., which may be the cause of depression in the elderly. Therefore, in order to alleviate and avoid the depression of the elderly and improve the happiness of life in the later years, we should pay close attention to the changes in depression of the elderly. Under the guidance of the theory of social sentiment choice, this study used the 2015 China Health and Pension Tracking Survey (CHARLS) data to understand the depression status of the elderly in contemporary China. Using quantitative methods to analyze the overall situation of depression in the elderly in our country, explore the relationship between intergenerational relationship satisfaction and depression in the elderly, and the financial support, physical support and grandchild care in intergenerational support in the intergenerational generation between the elderly and their children. The role of relationship satisfaction and geriatric depression. Through the screening of the sample, a total of 1701 samples entered the scope of this study. Through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and mediation effect test methods, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) In general, the elderly's depression score is a little a high, indicating a risk of depression; (2) The intergenerational relationship satisfaction is negatively correlated with the depression of the elderly. The higher the satisfaction of the elderly on the intergenerational relationship, the lower the score of depression. (3) The financial support,physical support and grandchild care in intergenerational support can not mediate the relationship between intergenerational satisfaction and depression in the elderly.
