RESUMO
O artigo testa a hipótese, originada da teoria da Equidade e da teoria da Integração Social, sobre o efeito das trocas sociais nos sintomas depressivos dos idosos. A base de dados amostral original é formada por 871 idosos pesquisados no Rio Grande do Sul em 1995, dentre os quais, 551 foram re-entervistados em 1999. Análises multivariadas transversais e longitudinais estimaram efeito de duas dimensões das relações sociais (as trocas com familiares e a integração social) nos sintomas depressivos. Os resultados indicam que o desbalanço nas trocas aumenta os sintomas depressivos, e a integração social contribui para um decréscimo dos mesmos.
ABSTRACT
This article tests the hypotheses from equity theory and social integration theory regarding the effect of social relationships on depressive symptoms. The expected result is that social relationships tend to decrease the number of depressive symptoms. The study was based in two points (waves) in time. The baseline sample consists of 871 subjects interviewed in 1995, among those, 551were re-interviewed in 1999. Cross-sectional and longitudinal multivariate regression models estimate the effect of two dimensions of social relationships (i.e., social exchanges and social integration) on depressive symptoms. The results indicate that unbalanced exchange increases depressive symptoms, and social integration decreases depressive symptoms.
