The impact of war-related stressors on subjective views of aging in daily life
The experience of stress, adversity, and extreme life events can significantly impact the aging process. Yet, empirical evidence is sparse regarding the impact of war-related stress on midlife and older adults’ subjective views of aging, especially in short-term, daily contexts. We investigated the experience of war-related stress on subjective age, subjective accelerated aging, and subjective nearness to death in two samples of adults aged 50 an…
Daily Health Problems, Views of Aging, and the Moderating Role of Awareness of Age-Related Changes
Our findings underscore the importance of perceiving age-related losses in daily life. Perceiving changes as age-related may influence how daily experiences are interpreted and their impact on developmental outcomes
Working from home and well-being during the pandemic and beyond: A longitudinal analysis in five countries
Our analysis offers a differentiated picture on within- and between-person dynamics of WFH and well-being over the course of the pandemic and beyond and can inform the discussion how individuals, organizations, and societies can prepare for a future in which WFH plays a more prominent role
Emotional experience related to daily uplifts and stressors: Age-differential effects in the context of age-related gains and losses
Objectives Emotional aging research has been dominated by the idea of age-related improvements in emotional experience. However, current mixed empirical findings call for a more differentiated, context-dependent approach. It has been proposed that age-related improvements in emotional experience are present in benign contexts and when age-related gains (e.g., in life experience and knowledge) are salient. In adverse contexts and when age-related …
Cultural Differences in Daily Coupling of Subjective Views of Aging and Negative Affect
It is important to adopt a cultural perspective when investigating daily fluctuations in VoA and their correlates. In applied contexts, this might help to identify cultural groups that are particularly sensitive to the effects of VoA
“Should I Stay or Should I Go?” Relationships Between Emotion Regulation and Basic Needs Satisfaction of Parents Displaced in Ukraine and Abroad (During the First 6 Months of The Russian Invasion of U…
Aim. The ability to regulate emotions depends on many factors, but for displaced persons, the satisfaction of basic needs is likely to be among the most important. Therefore, this study aimed at determining the degree of basic needs satisfaction and their relationship with indicators of emotion regulation in parents displaced within Ukraine and abroad due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Methods. The study sample comprised of parents (…
Internalization or Dissociation? Negative Age Stereotypes Make You Feel Younger Now But Make You Feel Older Later
Our findings support the time-dependent nature of the effects of age stereotypes on the subjective aging experience. Negative age stereotypes temporarily lead to a significantly younger subjective age, indicating dissociation from one's age group and downward comparison. In the long run, however, negative (positive) age stereotypes become internalized into the self-views of older people and are linked to a relatively older (younger) subjective ag…
Views on Aging – Current Trends and Future Directions for Cross-Cultural Research
The investigation of what enables societies and individuals to age well remains one of the greatest challenges of our time. Views on aging are a decisive factor in this process, and thus, improving their understanding through cross-cultural research is of utmost importance. In the current review, we address the role of socio-ecological variables and cultural values and beliefs when investigating country differences in what people think about olde…
Awareness of Age-Related Changes Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults: Longitudinal Trajectories, and the Role of Age Stereotypes and Personality Traits
Awareness of Age-Related Change (AARC) describes to what extent people become aware of changes which they attribute to getting older. So far little is known regarding how different AARC dimensions change over time, to what extent these changes in different domains of AARC gains and losses are interrelated, and which predictors account for inter-individual differences in within-person longitudinal trajectories. Specifically, the extent to which in…
The Effects of Age Stereotypes on Physical and Mental Health Are Mediated by Self-perceptions of Aging
Congruent with theoretical assumptions, our findings provide empirical support for a directional pathway by which AS shape later SPA. We conclude that AS and SPA may affect physical health outcomes more strongly than mental health outcomes. Studies that assess both types of VoA are needed to illuminate the pathways by which VoA influence aging outcomes
Genetic and environmental variation in political orientation in adolescence and early adulthood: A Nuclear Twin Family analysis
Political orientation is often assumed to be shaped by socialization processes; however, previous studies have shown substantial genetic variance components in party affiliation, political attitudes and behaviors, or closely related personality traits. The majority of these studies have relied on the Classical Twin Design, which comes with restrictive assumptions, some of which are easily violated. Moreover, most analyses lack a perspective of ag…
Domain-Specific Views on Aging and Preparation for Age-Related Changes – Development and Validation of Three Brief Scales
The new brief versions of the scales can be recommended for a differentiated assessment of views on aging and preparation for age-related changes when short forms of measurement are required
Preparation for Old Age: The Role of Cultural Context and Future Perceptions
Our results speak for the culture-specificity of preparing for old age and we deliver evidence on psychological variables that might explain these differences
How do views on aging affect health outcomes in adulthood and late life? Explanations for an established connection
Getting what you expect? Future self-views predict the valence of life events
Views on aging have been shown to predict the occurrence of events related to physical health in previous studies. Extending these findings, we investigated the relation between aging-related future self-views and life events in a longitudinal study across a range of different life domains. Participants (N = 593, age range 30-80 years at t1) completed a survey at 2 measurement occasions that were separated by a 4-year interval (t1: 2009, t2: 2013…
Looking Beyond Chronological Age: Current Knowledge and Future Directions in the Study of Subjective Age
The notion of the heterogeneity of aging goes along with the awareness that every person experiences aging differently. Over the past years, scholars have emphasized that the assessment of these subjective experiences of aging contributes to our understanding of a range of psychological and physiological processes and outcomes among older adults. One construct frequently used in this context is subjective age, that is, how old or young a person f…
Subjective Age Across the Life Span: A Differentiated, Longitudinal Approach
Our results provide support for a multidimensional view of subjective aging experiences. They highlight the importance of a differentiated investigation of subjective aging constructs and their relations for understanding how these variables shape the aging process
Do age stereotypes as social role expectations for older adults influence personality development
Multidimensionality of Younger and Older Adults’ Age Stereotypes: The Interaction of Life Domain and Adjective Dimension
The authors investigated the sources of age-stereotype multidimensionality with the help of personal everyday statements that differed with respect to life domain (e.g., family and partnership vs financial matters) and the adjective dimension reflected in the behavior (e.g., autonomous vs instrumental behavior). A total of 368 statements reflecting autonomy-, instrumentality-, or integrity-related behaviors in five different life domains were gen…
Age Stereotypes and Self-Views Revisited: Patterns of Internalization and Projection Processes Across the Life Span
Our findings suggest that the internalization of age stereotypes is triggered by domain-specific expectations of impending age-related changes and transitions during certain phases of the life span. Projection processes, however, seem to occur in response to changes that have already been experienced by the individual. Our study demonstrates the dynamic interrelation of age stereotypes and self-views across the life course and highlights the impo…
Patterns and sources of personality development in old age
Despite abundant evidence that personality development continues in adulthood, little is known about the patterns and sources of personality development in old age. We thus investigated mean-level trends and individual differences in change as well as the genetic and environmental sources of rank-order continuity and change in several personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness, perceived control, and…
Contexts of Aging: Assessing Evaluative Age Stereotypes in Different Life Domains
Our results indicate the existence of domain-specific age stereotypes that become internalized into older persons' self-views
