The Effect of Social Networking on the Depression of the Elderly: Focusing on a Reciprocal Intimacy Network
Abstract
This study was conducted to find out the effect of intimate relationships on the depression of the elderly through an analysis of social networking. In order to examine the effects of the quantitative aspects of reciprocal intimacy networks on the depression of the elderly, we calculated the variable ‘intimate relationships’ through an analysis of an egocentric network of individuals living in a village and a global network showing relationships of individuals in a whole village while controlling demographic variables and health condition variables which appear to affect the depression of the elderly. In order to examine the effect of egocentric network size and reciprocal intimacy network size, which has received considerable attention from previous studies, we performed a four step hierarchical regression analysis using first year data from the Korean Social Health and Aging Project (KSHAP). While controlling demographic variables and health condition variables, egocentric network size appeared to be statistically significant. However, when the reciprocal intimacy network variable was added, egocentric network size appeared to not be statistically significant while reciprocal intimacy network size was. The study has significance as it analyzed intimate relationships from a new perspective. It suggests that staying close with people who are nearby, such as family, friends or neighbors, is proven to be a protective factor of depression in the elderly.
