本研究考察了人格、依恋和家庭团结维度对老年人孤独感的影响（即，85岁及以上）及其成年子女。亲子二人组的数据来自100名父母和他们的孩子。通径分析结果表明，对子女的情感和来自子女的情感都能降低高龄老人的孤独感。虽然焦虑的个性会降低情感，但对孩子的依恋感会增加情感。此外，焦虑型性格的父母和孩子更容易感到孤独，而外向型性格的父母和孩子的孤独感会降低。孩子们的孤独感也会因为与父母的联系和友谊的质量而减少。儿童依恋父母的看法增加了当前的感情和协会与父母的期望和实现。
This study examined the effects of personality, attachment, and dimensions of family solidarity on the loneliness of oldest old adults (i.e., 85 years and older) and their adult children. Parent-child dyads were formed with data collected from 100 parents and their children. Results from path analyses indicated that oldest old adults' loneliness was reduced by affection both for and from their children. Although an anxious personality decreased affection, perceptions of attachment to children increased feelings of affection. In addition, parents and children who had anxious personalities were more likely to be lonely, whereas loneliness was decreased for those with an extraverted personality. Children's loneliness also was decreased by association with their parents and by the quality of their friendships. Perceptions of childhood attachment to parents increased current affection and association with and fulfillment of parents' expectations.
