ABSTRACT

The current study aimed to show the moderating and mediating effects of ego-integrity and resilience in the relationship between daily stress and depression in the elderly. A total of 94 adults between the ages of 65 and 79 years participated in this study. The results show that daily stress had a direct effect on depression and was also partially mediated by ego-integrity. In addition, the mediating effect of ego-integrity was moderated by resilience. This indicates that resilience acts as a protective factor buffering the negative impacts of stress and low ego-integrity and decreasing the risk of depression among seniors. Active interventions to enhance resilience and ego-integrity and to reduce the severity of daily stress are needed for successful aging in later adulthood.
