This study directly compared two common measures of aging anxiety within an older adult sample. Participants completed the Anxiety about Aging Scale, the Personal Anxiety Toward Aging Scale and several related constructs including ageism, expectations regarding aging, dementia worry, and death anxiety. The two measures significantly and stro…
Suicidal Ideation in Older Adults: Exploring the Role of Depression, Hopelessness, Perceived Burdensomeness, and Thwarted Belongingness
Elevated rates of suicide among older adults continue to be a major public health problem globally. Improving our understanding of the precursors and the underlying mechanisms that lead to an increased risk of suicide in older adults is key to preventing suicide in this high-risk group. This study examined relationships between known risk factors of suicidal ideation (i.e., depression, hopelessness, thwarted belongingness, and perceived burdensom…

Relationships Between Diverse Forms of Anxiety With Intrapersonal Functioning Among Older Adults
This study assessed how clinical anxiety, anxiety about aging, and death anxiety related to one another and to intrapersonal functioning. Older adults completed the Geriatric Anxiety Scale, Anxiety About Aging Scale, Death Anxiety Scale-Extended, and Intrapersonal Problems Rating Scale. Clinical anxiety was strongly correlated with anxiety about aging ( r = .50) and death anxiety ( r = .59), and anxiety about aging and death anxiety were strongly…
Relationships Among Executive Dysfunction, Constructive Worrying, and Worry Responses in Older Adults
Worry is a ubiquitous human experience and core symptom of anxiety. The present study examined the extent to which specific aspects of worry are related to perceived executive dysfunction in older adults. A total of 100 older adult participants ( M age = 68.82 years; range = 65–79 years) completed the Worry Behaviors Inventory, the Coolidge Axis II Inventory Executive Dysfunctions Scale, and the Constructive and Unconstructive Worry Questionnaire…
An Empirical Evaluation of the DSM-5 Alternative Model of Personality Disorders in Later Life
Personality disorders (PDs) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-5) are conceptualized as distinct clinical syndromes. However, debate persists about the clinical utility of this categorical model, with many researchers supporting a dimensional model that focuses on pathological personality traits and personality dysfunction. This model was published in Section III of DSM-5 and named the Alternative Model of Personal…

The experience of clinically significant anxiety and anxiety disorders represent significant and often debilitating problems for many residents in long-term care (LTC) settings. However, anxiety problems often go undetected and untreated in this growing population. The purposes of this paper are to examine the prevalence and impact of anxiety problems among residents in LTC facilities, describe the efficacy of the current instruments that are use…

Deliberate self-harm among younger and older adults
This study examined self-harming behaviors among younger and older adults who completed the Self-Harm Inventory (SHI). A 2 (age group) × 2 (gender) analysis of variance showed a significant main effect for age such that younger adult students (M = 3.42, SD = 3.86) had higher SHI total scores than community-dwelling older adults (M = 1.58, SD = 2.35). Younger adults endorsed "Yes" responses significantly more frequently than older adults on 13 of …
Psychometric properties of a new measure to assess autism spectrum disorder in DSM-5
This article presents preliminary psychometric properties of a new 45-item scale, the Coolidge Autistic Symptoms Survey (CASS), designed to differentiate between children within the autism spectrum (including Asperger's Disorder) and purportedly normal children, in anticipation of DSM-5 changes, in which a single diagnostic category is proposed: autism spectrum disorder. The final sample (N = 72) consisted of 19 children diagnosed with Asperger's…
Personality, Suicidal Ideation, and Reasons for Living among Older Adults
The findings highlight the complexity of risk and protective factors for suicide and suggest that a thorough assessment of suicidal potential among older adults should include attention to their underlying personality traits
Is Kim Jong‐il like Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler? A personality disorder evaluation
A psychological profile was developed on North Korean leader Kim Jong‐il based on a South Korean psychiatrist’s evaluation of 14 personality disorders in DSM‐IV‐TR and of schizophrenic and psychotic symptoms. The psychiatrist, considered an expert on Kim Jong‐il’s behavior, completed the informant version of the standardized, DSM‐IV‐TR aligned, 225‐item Coolidge Axis II Inventory (CATI). The resulting profile was compared with a consensus profile…
Self-Reported History of Sexual Coercion and Rape Negatively Impacts Resilience to Suicide Among Women Students
A substantial literature has documented that sexual abuse relates to suicidal behaviors but relatively less is known about resilience to suicide, especially cognitive deterrents to suicide. The present study investigated the effects of a history of sexual victimization on reasons for living. Female participants (N = 138; M age = 24.4 years; SD = 7.3 years; range = 18 to 53 years; 79% Caucasian) completed the Sexual Experiences Survey (SES) and th…
Working memory deficits in personality disorder traits: A preliminary investigation in a nonclinical sample
Revising the personality disorder diagnostic criteria for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders–Fifth Edition (DSM-V): Consider the later life context
The categorical measurement approach implemented by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition (DSM-IV) personality disorder (PD) diagnostic system is theoretically and pragmatically limited. As a result, many prominent psychologists now advocate for a shift away from this approach in favor of more conceptually sound dimensional measurement. This shift is expected to improve the psychometric properties of the persona…
An Exploration of Gender Differences on the Reasons for Living Inventory among Older Adults
This study evaluated gender differences on the Reasons for Living Inventory (RFL) specifically among older adults, a population known to have the highest suicide rate among all age groups, with older men being disproportionately at risk. Community-dwelling women (n = 175; M age = 69.0 years; 81% Caucasian) and men (n = 145; M age = 69.5 years; 76% Caucasian) completed the RFL. Results showed no significant gender differences on the RFL subscales …

Attitudes Toward Suicide and Suicidal Risk Among Younger and Older Persons
Despite a burgeoning literature on some aspects of elder suicide, little is known about the specific attitudes that older people hold about suicide. The present study examined attitudes toward suicide and suicidal risk among 96 younger and 79 older adults. Participants completed the Suicide Opinion Questionnaire and the Suicide Risk Scale. Regarding suicidal risk, younger adults scored significantly higher than older adults. Regarding attitudes, …
A Comparison of Suicidal Thinking and Reasons for Living Among Younger and Older Adults
A cross-sectional design was used to examine age-related differences in suicidal thinking and reasons for living among younger (n = 82; M age = 21) and older (n = 82; M age = 68) adults. Volunteers anonymously completed the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation and the Reasons for Living Inventory. Findings indicated that older adults do not manifest suicidal ideation differently than younger adults. However, there does appear to be some age-related di…
