Chronology versus centrality
has received little attention. The present study thus examined the order of AMs during recall, with a specific focus on time and centrality as guiding dimensions. A total of 364 participants (aged 18-89 years) recalled up to ten positive and negative AMs. They provided their age at the time of the event and rated AMs according to their centrality to identity and life story. Based on linear growth models, we found emotional AMs to be recalled chro…
Emotional and temporal order effects – a comparison between word-cued and important autobiographical memories recall orders
The retrieval mechanisms associated with the recall of autobiographical memories (AMs) may differ according to the cueing method used to elicit AMs. In the present study, we provide a systematic comparison between word-cued and important AMs in terms of two recall order effects, namely a temporal and an emotional order effect. The sample comprised 104 adults aged between 59 and 90 years. On two measurement occasions, participants recalled up to 2…
Themes of trust, identity, intimacy, and generativity in important autobiographical memories
INTRODUCTION: Guided by Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, the present study investigated whether themes of trust, identity, intimacy, and generativity are represented in older adults' most important autobiographical memories. Furthermore, we tested whether these themes are associated with certain life periods and whether having important memories (i.e., life story) that reflect developmental themes and are evaluated as positive is ass…
How do we recall the story of our lives? Evidence for a temporal order in the recall of important life story events
Based on the chronological nature of extensive life narratives, in two studies, we investigated whether a temporal order can also be found for the retrieval of important life story events. The data of Study 1 come from 52 older adults (Mage = 70.35, SDage = 6.09) who reported seven important events from their life. We used multilevel analysis to take into account the hierarchical structure of the data but also to investigate individual difference…
Order effects in the recall of autobiographical memories
Investigating the recall process of autobiographical memories (AMs) and, particularly, the order in which AMs are recalled has the potential to shed light on the organisation of autobiographical memory. However, research on order effects in the recall of AMs is relatively rare. Moreover, to date, no study addressed the question of where emotion fits into the organisation. The present study aimed to close this gap by examining whether emotional va…
The valence and the functions of autobiographical memories
A Coordinated Multi-study Analysis of the Longitudinal Association Between Handgrip Strength and Cognitive Function in Older Adults
OBJECTIVE: Handgrip strength, an indicator of overall muscle strength, has been found to be associated with slower rate of cognitive decline and decreased risk for cognitive impairment and dementia. However, evaluating the replicability of associations between aging-related changes in physical and cognitive functioning is challenging due to differences in study designs and analytical models. A multiple-study coordinated analysis approach was used…
Stability and Change in Typical Intellectual Engagement in Old Age Across 5 Years
Across 5 years, TIE remained relatively stable on a group level. However, pronounced interindividual differences emerged. Also, although the changes in factors shared a substantial amount of variance, the development of the factors was not completely parallel
Openness to Experience, fluid intelligence, and crystallized intelligence in middle-aged and old adults
Age differences in five personality domains across the life span
The present study addresses the issue of age differences in 5 personality domains across the life span in a cross-sectional study. In contrast to most previous studies, the present study follows a methodologically more rigorous approach to warrant that age-related differences in personality structure and mean level can be meaningfully compared. It uses data on 50 items of the Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) available from a study in a la…
Cross‐Sectional Age Differences and Longitudinal Age Changes of Personality in Middle Adulthood and Old Age
The present study examines different aspects of personality continuity (or change) in middle adulthood and old age both cross‐sectionally and longitudinally. The sample comprised 445 middle‐aged (42–46 years) and 420 older (60–64 years) participants, reassessed after a 4‐year interval. Personality was measured using the NEO‐FFI personality inventory. After having established strict factorial invariance, factor covariances were found to be equal f…
A Two-Level Confirmatory Factor Analysis of a Modified Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale
Classical factor analysis assumes independent and identically distributed observations. Educational data, however, are often hierarchically structured, with, for example, students being nested within classes. In this study, data on self-esteem gathered in a sample of 1,107 students within 72 school classes in Switzerland were analyzed using two-level confirmatory factor analysis. Considering a sequence of two-level confirmatory factor models, the…
