近几十年来，人们对孤独和智慧的研究兴趣日益浓厚，但没有使用老年人（尤其是老年人）的标准化评级措施对这些结构进行跨文化比较。这是一项关于孤独和智慧的横断面研究，比较了意大利奇伦托和美国圣地亚哥的中年和老年人。我们分别使用加州大学洛杉矶分校孤独量表第 3 版 (UCLA-3) 和圣地亚哥智慧量表 (SD-WISE) 在四个主题组中检查孤独感和智慧：来自意大利奇伦托（分别为 N = 212 和 47）和美国加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥（分别为 N = 138 和 85）的 50-65 岁成年人和≥90 岁的成年人。控制教育程度后，孤独感水平没有显着的组间差异，而在 SD-WISE 上，Cilento ≥ 90 组的得分低于其他三组。在四个学科组中，孤独感和智慧之间都存在很强的负相关关系。在大多数群体中，孤独感与总体健康、睡眠质量和幸福感呈负相关，而智慧则与总体健康、睡眠质量和幸福感呈正相关，但显着性程度各不相同。这些结果在很大程度上支持了孤独和智慧结构的跨文化有效性，并扩展了先前关于这两个实体之间强逆相关性的发现。孤独已成为一个日益严重的公共卫生问题，我们的研究结果表明，智慧可能是抵抗孤独的保护因素，尽管也有可能有其他解释。需要研究通过增强老年人智慧来减少孤独感的干预措施。
There has been growing research interest in loneliness and wisdom in recent decades, but no cross-cultural comparisons of these constructs using standardized rating measures in older adults, especially the oldest-old. This was a cross-sectional study of loneliness and wisdom comparing middle-aged and oldest-old adults in Cilento, Italy and San Diego, United States. We examined loneliness and wisdom, using the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 (UCLA-3) and San Diego Wisdom Scale (SD-WISE), respectively, in four subject groups: adults aged 50–65 and those ≥90 years from Cilento, Italy (N = 212 and 47, respectively) and San Diego, California, USA (N = 138 and 85, respectively). After controlling for education, there were no significant group differences in levels of loneliness, while on SD-WISE the Cilento ≥90 group had lower scores compared to the other three groups. There was a strong inverse correlation between loneliness and wisdom in each of the four subject groups. Loneliness was negatively associated while wisdom was positively associated with general health, sleep quality, and happiness in most groups, with varying levels of significance. These results largely support cross-cultural validity of the constructs of loneliness and wisdom, and extend previous findings of strong inverse correlations between these two entities. Loneliness has become a growing public health problem, and the results of our study suggest that wisdom could be a protective factor against loneliness, although alternative explanations are also possible. Research on interventions to reduce loneliness by enhancing wisdom in older adults is needed.
