• Abstract: With the intensification of population aging in China, the problem of loneliness among the elderly has received increasing attention. This study aims to explore the influence mechanism of negative life events on loneliness in the elderly and analyze the mediating role of marital satisfaction therein. The research, through qualitative analysis methods and by integrating relevant studies at home and abroad, revealed the intrinsic connections among the three. The results show that negative life events have a significant negative impact on loneliness among the elderly, and marital satisfaction plays an important mediating role in this process. Elderly people with high marital satisfaction can obtain more psychological support when facing negative life events, thereby effectively alleviating feelings of loneliness. However, the existing research has limitations. For example, it is difficult to ensure that an individual encounters only a single negative life event within a specific observation period, and the research subjects are mostly specific groups, lacking universality. This study not only deepens the understanding of the influencing factors of mental health in the elderly group, but also provides a theoretical basis for formulating scientific and effective intervention strategies for loneliness, which has important theoretical value and practical significance. 随着我国人口老龄化的加剧，老年人孤独感问题日益受到关注。本研究旨在探讨负性生活事件对老年人孤独感的影响机制，并分析婚姻满意度在其中的中介作用。研究通过质性分析方法，综合国内外相关研究，揭示了三者之间的内在联系。结果表明，负性生活事件对老年人孤独感具有显著的负面影响，而婚姻满意度在这一过程中起到了重要的中介作用。婚姻满意度高的老年人能够在面对负性生活事件时获得更多的心理支持，从而有效缓解孤独感。然而，现有研究存在局限性，如难以确保个体在特定观察期内仅遭遇单一负性生活事件，以及研究对象多为特定群体，缺乏普适性。本研究不仅深化了对老年群体心理健康影响因素的理解，还为制定科学有效的孤独感干预策略提供了理论依据，具有重要的理论价值和现实意义
