Method:Using the Chinese Health and Retirement Survey ( CHARLS) database, the descriptive statistics, factor analysis and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the social psychological status and influencing factors of the elderly at different ages over 60 years of age in China. Results:The social psychological status of the elderly gradually became worse with age. The social psychological status of the elderly in the low age group was better than that in the middle age and the high age group; the depression factor of the middle age group was better than that of the low age group and the high age group;and the social psychological status of the elderly was generally poor.
