| Summary: | This study explores the role of family and community support in promoting active aging among the elderly in China, utilizing data from the seventh wave of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. We analyzed how family support and psychological resilience contribute to active aging. Our findings indicate that while general family support shows a negative correlation with psychological resilience and active aging, emotional support from the family positively influences both. Additionally, psychological resilience is a partial mediator in this relationship, with community support as a moderator. The results suggest that interventions to increase emotional support from family and community could significantly enhance active aging. |
