互联网使用能否缓解农村老年人的抑郁情绪?
Can Internet Use Alleviate Depression in Rural Elderly:A Comparative Analysis Based on Disabled and Non-disabled Groups
摘要
Abstract
Under the dual context of population aging and rural hollowing,it is crucial to pay special attention to the depression problem of rural elderly,especially those with disabilities.Based on data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS),this paper comparatively analyzes the differential impacts of Internet use on depressive symptoms between disabled and non-disabled rural elderly.The research findings are as follows:First,Internet use significantly alleviates depressive symptoms among elderly,and this conclusion is still valid after addressing potential endogeneity through propensity score-matching(PSM).Second,the mitigating effect of internet use is only significant for non-disabled rural elderly,with no observable impact on those with disabilities.Third,WeChat,as a specific Internet medium,effectively reduces depressive symptoms in non-disabled rural elderly.In the new era,policies aimed at promoting active aging through Internet empowerment in rural areas should consider the functional status of the elderly.Disabled elderly require timely and adequate family-based care services.Non-disabled elderly can benefit from targeted Internet interventions to alleviate depression.关键词
