The study analyzed 182 studies from 1993 to 2017. A total of 83,603 participants were included in 182 studies. Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) Scale. From 1993 to 2001 and from 2004 to 2017, the scores for each dimension for mental health of older adults were relatively stable, and the absolute value of the effect size was between 0.02 and 0.62. From 2001 to 2003 and from 2003 to 2004, the scores of each dimension of older adults changed greatly. From 2001 to 2003, the total mean score of SCL-90 and the scores of different dimensions in older adults showed a rapidly decreasing trend, with the d ranging from −0.40 to −0.93. From 2003 to 2004, the scores of all dimensions in SCL-90 showed a trend of sharp increase, and the d of each dimension was 0.40 to 0.89.

With the infusion of information technology into society, incorporating technology into everyday life has become instrumental for older adults. Recent studies have emphasized the importance of adult children's information support in older adults' daily lives and filial responsibility
expectations in the information era. However, few measurements of filial responsibility expectation include information expectation. We aimed to introduce a modified version of the Filial Responsibility Scale (FRS) for use with Chinese older adults. The results showed that the revised Chinese
version of the FRS included four factors: emotional expectation, instrumental expectation, contact expectation, and information expectation. The overall reliability was good, structural validity was good, and criterion-related validity was satisfactory. Thus, the four-dimensional structure
of the FRS is suitable for use in Chinese cultural settings and is an effective instrument to evaluate the filial expectation of older adults in the information era.
