Abstract This study aims to investigate gender differences in the relationship between social participation and depression on the part of urban widowed elders. Data for this study comes from the 2011 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. It is found that the depression scores of the widowed elders are higher than those shared by their married counterparts. There is no significant gender difference in the participation of different types of social activities. However, multivariate analysis shows that for widowers, their engagement in social activities is not significantly related to depression; while for widows, who often take part in dance/sport club activities, depression is negatively related to social participation. This study implies that women and men elders cope with widowhood differently. Social services should pay more attention to the widowed elders and their gender differences.

Key words： widowed elders a gender perspective social activities depression
