本研究以量化方式探討老人社會參與能力與活動參與之間的關係因素，由訪員面訪協助老人填答問卷。以臺北市各區最大及次大之「社區照顧關懷據點」之老人，以及各區接受「失能老人營養餐飲服務」或「居家照顧服務」之老人為對象，有效問卷計307份。研究發現：生產性活動、共同性活動、獨自性活動以及社交性活動，其預測因子各不相同。其中，最大影響因素均為社會參與能力，又以社會角色履行能力為最有影響力者。具體而言，生產性活動以具備勞動能力為重，因此特別要求具備日常活動的能力，亦與性別有特別關聯；共同性活動會受社團成員身份所影響，另，疾病會影響老人參與所有類型的活動，尤其對生產性活動和共同性活動最有影響；經濟能力在獨自性活動面向上有其影響力；社交性活動多侷限於家庭活動。最後針對上述結果，提出實務、政策和研究上建議。
