Abstract: This study conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis of 85 papers using Xiao's Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) to investigate the changes of Chinese old people's social support level (N=43302) from 1996 to 2015. Results showed that:(1) Over the past two decades, the level of social support of old people tended to decrease. While the subjective support was not associated with year, the total score of social support, the objective support and the degree of support-utilization among old people decreased significantly over time. (2) The level of subjective support of old people (both women and men) increased significantly from 1996 to 2015, whereas scores of other factors (objective support and the degree of support-utilization) had no significant changes over time. In addition, there was no significant gender difference in the level of social support. (3) For old people in eastern regions, the level of subject support increased significantly with year; whereas for old people in other regions, the total score of social support and its two factors (objective support and the degree of support-utilization) were significantly negatively correlated with year.

Key words: social support, old people, cross-temporal meta-analysis, meta-analysis
