Subjective Aging and Incident Cardiovascular Disease
Consistent with the literature on subjective aging and cardiovascular risk factors, this large prospective study indicates that an older subjective age and negative SPA increase the risk of incident stroke and other cardiovascular diseases
Perceived somatic and affective barriers for self-efficacy and physical activity
According to Bandura's social-cognitive theory, perceptions of somatic and affective barriers are sources of self-efficacy. This longitudinal study compares general indicators of health barriers with measures of perceived somatic and affective barriers to predict self-efficacy and accelerometer-assessed physical activity in a subsample of n = 153 (selected at random from N = 310) community-dwelling German older adults. Perceived somatic and affec…
Cohort Profile
Population ageing and longevity - as observed in Germany - is not simply a phenomenon of an increasing number of old people: it also involves a range of qualitative and structural changes affecting older people. For this reason the German Federal Government, aiming to improve the quality of its monitoring efforts on older people in Germany, launched the German Ageing Survey (DEAS) in the mid 1990s, under the auspices of the Federal Ministry for F…
How do views on aging affect health outcomes in adulthood and late life? Explanations for an established connection
Predictors of Self-Rated Health
The findings highlight the importance of considering the multidimensionality of SWB and the educational background of individuals for the study of SRH and indicate possible limits to adjustment to age-related declines in health
Short-Term Buffers, but Long-Term Suffers? Differential Effects of Negative Self-Perceptions of Aging Following Serious Health Events
People with more negative self-perceptions of aging may be mentally prepared for health events or may have habituated to health declines. Individuals with more positive self-perceptions, in contrast, may invest a lot in coping efforts immediately after the health event. Similarities to research on unrealistic optimism are discussed
The influence of subjective aging on health and longevity
Interactive effects of social support and social conflict on medication adherence in multimorbid older adults
Life satisfaction and feeling in control
Life satisfaction and control beliefs are established indicators of successful aging and predict mortality. However, it has not yet been examined whether they independently predict mortality or interact. We examined main and interaction effects using Cox proportional hazards models in a sample of older adults ( N = 1402; age range: 65-91). Only the interaction of life satisfaction and control beliefs significantly predicted mortality when control…
What do people include when they self-rate their health? Differential associations according to health status in community-dwelling older adults
Giving and Taking -Differential Effects of Providing, Receiving and Anticipating Emotional Support on Quality of Life in Adults with Multiple Illnesses
Multimorbidity challenges quality of life (QoL) in old age. Anticipating and providing social support have been shown to promote QoL whereas receiving support often had detrimental effects. Little is known about which psychological processes explain these effects. This study examines the effects of receiving, anticipating and providing emotional support on QoL, with control beliefs and self-esteem as simultaneous mediators in an elderly multimorb…

Longitudinal Findings on Aging-Related Cognitions, Control Beliefs, and Health in Later Life
We examined the influence of individual views of aging on health changes in later life. We hypothesized that aging-related cognitions affect health changes irrespective of control beliefs and that the impact of aging-related cognitions on health is higher than for the reverse direction of causality. We based our analyses on data from the longitudinal part of the German Aging Survey (N = 1,286; participants were 40-85 years of age at baseline). Be…
