在未来十年，面临社会脱节、孤独以及与之相关的负面心理和身体健康结果风险的老年人数量将达到前所未有的规模。老年孤儿或65岁以上的单身、未婚和无子女的成年人特别容易被社会孤立。此前的研究表明，社交媒体的使用，特别是Facebook的使用，可以为个人提供获得促进福祉的社交资源的机会。到目前为止，关于Facebook使用及其对孤独感影响的研究还没有定论。然而，对年轻人的研究表明，使用Facebook可能会促进对重要性的感知--这是一种对抗孤独的保护资源。本研究的目的是评估如何利用Facebook的模式，以解决孤独的威胁，通过促进mattering。这项研究采用在线调查方法，在老年孤儿Facebook用户（n = 517）的样本。本研究结果显示，Facebook的活动显着和积极的关系，并显着和消极的关系，孤独的老年孤儿。
The number of older adults at risk for social disconnectedness, loneliness, and the negative mental and physical health outcomes associated with each will reach unprecedented size in the next decade. Elder orphans, or adults aged 65+ who live alone and are unmarried and childless, are particularly at risk for social isolation. Prior research has shown that social media use, specifically Facebook use, can provide individuals with access to social resources that promote well-being. To date, the research regarding Facebook use and its impact on loneliness is somewhat inconclusive. There have been studies with young adults, however, that suggest that Facebook use might promote the perception of mattering - a protective resource against loneliness. It is the aim of this study to assess how the modalities of Facebook can be harnessed in order to address the threat of loneliness among elder orphans through the promotion of mattering. This study employed online survey methodology among a sample of elder orphan Facebook users (n = 517). Results of this study show that Facebook activities were significantly and positively related to mattering and significantly and negatively related to loneliness among elder orphans.
