这项研究使用美国全国成年人样本来考察年龄与自尊两个维度的关系。年龄对自我价值感和自我效能感的直接影响相比，年龄对这些通过角色积累的间接影响。研究结果表明，与年轻人相比，65岁以上的人自尊水平更高，特别是在自我效能方面。然而，通过角色积累的干预变量，老年与自尊的下降有关。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，成熟和角色的观点，对老化的自我，和更一般的理论，自尊的尺寸。
This research examines the relationship of age and two dimensions of self-esteem using a national sample of adults in the United States. The direct effects of age on self-worth and on self-efficacy are compared to the indirect effects of age on these through role accumulation. Findings indicate those over age sixty-five experience heightened levels of self-esteem, especially on self-efficacy, compared to their younger counterparts. However, through the intervening variable of role accumulation, older age is associated with decreases in self-esteem. The implications of these findings are discussed for maturational and role perspectives on the aging self, and a more general theory of self-esteem dimensions.
