从三种环境中选择了 308 名洛杉矶老年人（平均年龄 = 75.5 岁），以实证检验心理抑郁与感觉“老”之间的关系。对SS进行了症状检查表-90、年龄识别项目和其他一些健康指标。结果表明，无论年龄大小，感觉“年长”的人明显比感觉“年轻”的人更抑郁，健康状况也更差。多变量水平分析进一步表明个人意义是抑郁症的主要相关因素。简要讨论了与抑郁老年人一起工作的临床意义。
Three hundred and eight Los Angeles elderly (means = 75.5 years) were selected from three settings to test empirically the relationship between psychological depression and feeling "old." Ss were administered the Symptom Checklist -90, an age identification item and several other measures of well-being. Results indicated that irrespective of age, persons who felt "older" were significantly more depressed and less healthy than their "younger" feeling counterparts. Multivariate level analysis further implicated personal meaning as a major correlate of depression. The clinical implications for working with depressed elders are discussed briefly.
