摘要 文幸基于2010年第三期中国妇女社会地位调查老年专卷数据，探讨了中国老年人精神虐待的整体状况、内部差异，揭示了老年人精神虐待的主要影响素。结果显示，中国老年人精神虐待问题较为突出，精神虐待是老年人虐待最常见和普遍的形式，其发生率(5.1%)是所有老年人虐待类型中比率最高者。中国老年人精神虐待存在显著的社会经济差界。通过逻辑斯蒂回归模型发现，老年人子女多、收入低、身体状况差、认知存在偏见以及子女提供支持帮助少是影响中国老年人遭受精神虐待的主要危险因素。中国老年人精神虐待不仅是个体的社会偏差行为，更与宏观社会文化转型密切关联，应积极采取切实有效施防治老年人精神虐待。
Abstract： Using data from the 2010 Survey on the Status of Chinese Women, this paper analyzes the overall situation, heterogeneity and determinants of psychological abuse of the older people in China.Psychological abuse is the most common and widespread form of abuses of the aged people with the highest incidence(5. 1%)of all forms of abuses. There are large sociodemographic differentials in the elderly psychological abuse. Logistic regression model suggests that the older people who have multiple children, low income, poor health, cognitive bias and less assistance for their children experience significantly higher rates of psychological abuse. Psychological abuse of the older people in China is not only individual behaviour of social deviance, but also is closely related to the macro transformation of social culture. Effective measures should be actively pursued to prevent elderly psychological abuse.
