“…Consequently, high SE is related to numerous favorable outcomes, including subjective well-being, positive aging, and low depression (Trzesniewski et al, 2003). For example, Kim and Choi's (2013) showed that depression decreased by 0.37 points for every 1-point increase in SE in older adults. In contrast, people with low SE are always preoccupied with criticism of others and how they are regarded by others (Sowislo & Orth, 2013).…”

“…In the context of rapid aging in Korea, even fewer studies analyze the interaction of depression and SE directly with older adults. Kim and Choi (2013) analyzed the causal relationship between depression and SE in older adults aged 60–79, but it does not apply to the general elderly population. Therefore, this study will use cross‐lagged models to analyze the reciprocal relationship between depression and SE in older adults.…”

“…However, the findings were inconsistent due to differences in sampling methods (Park & Bae, 2021, p170; Sowislo & Orth, 2013, p5). Only Kim and Choi's (2013) study in South Korea examined the causal relationship between depression and SE in older adults (60–79 years old). However, those aged >80 years were not included, and the study results cannot be applied to the general elderly population.…”

This study aimed to examine the longitudinal causal relationship between depression and self‐esteem (SE) in older Koreans and analyze gender differences in this correlation. Participants were 4742 older adults aged ≥65 years in baseline 2018 from the Korea Welfare Panel Study. Depression and SE were measured every year from 2018 to 2021. This study estimated causal relationships using the autoregressive cross‐lagged model and analyzed gender differences using a multigroup approach. The findings indicate that depression and SE in older adults support the reciprocal causal model, but there are no gender differences. The study recommends that both depression and SE should be considered in the design of social work intervention programs for older adults but can disregard gender differences.
