大量证据表明，友谊有助于老年人的心理健康。因此，寻找帮助孤独的老年人建立新友谊的方法是很有意义的，但正如海勒等人（1991）报告的令人失望的结果所表明的那样，将这个概念上合理的目标转化为现实存在许多挑战。这篇评论试图建立在作者对可能破坏他们干预成功的因素的分析的基础上，通过讨论可能最有利于晚年友谊形成的社会环境，并考虑亲属关系是否比同龄人关系更能代表干预工作的重点。
Considerable evidence indicates that friendships contribute to the psychological well-being of older adults. Seeking ways to help lonely older adults form new friendships thus makes a good deal of sense, but as the disappointing results reported by Heller et al. (1991) indicate, translating this conceptually sound goal into a practical reality presents many challenges. This commentary seeks to build upon the authors' analysis of factors that may have undermined the success of their intervention by discussing the social contexts that may be most conducive to friendship formation in late life and by considering whether kin ties represent a more viable focus of intervention efforts than do peer ties.
