Objective:To explore the relationship between attitudes toward own aging and depression in elderly people and the moderating role of family resilience.Methods:The Simplified Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire,the Family Hardiness Index,and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to conduct a questionnaire survey of 386 community-dwelling elderly people in Shandong Province.Results:Negative attitudes toward own aging significantly and positively predicted total depression scores;Control moderated the relationship between attitudes toward own aging and depression(β =-0.166,P<0.001),and the effect of attitudes toward own aging on depression was more pronounced in older adults with low control scores(β = 0.862,P<0.001)than with high control scores(β = 0.372,P<0.001).Challenge moderated between self-aging attitudes and depression(β = 0.101,P = 0.028).The effect of self-aging attitudes on depression in older adults was more significant when challenge scores were at high levels(β=0.652,P=0.000)than the effect when challenge scores were at low levels(β = 0.327,P = 0.009).Conclusion:The attitude of elder people toward own aging can influence their levels of depression,which are moderated by levels of control and challenge in family resilience.
