Abstract:In the present study we investigated whether and how age group, dimensions of well-being and their interactions predicted the phenomenological properties of semantic self-images, taking also into account the different levels of accessibility of self-images (i.e., order of generation). Results on the first self-image revealed that, independently of age, higher levels of life satisfaction predicted higher likelihood of positive than negative statement and higher levels of negative affect and life satisfaction pr… Show more
“…Vannucci et al [ 9 ] examined the age-linked dimensions of well-being to investigate whether interactions predicted the phenomenological properties of semantic self-images, which are representations in autobiographical memory that aid retrieval and memory for autobiographical events. They found a strong association between well-being and semantic self-images, especially for positive and negative affects and life satisfaction.…”
Heightened average life expectancy, which is increasing the number of older adults destined to live alone in the future, is forcing society to acknowledge the strong positive correlation between health costs and age [...]
