Successful Aging from the Viewpoint of Older Adults: Development of a Brief Successful Aging Inventory (SAI)

Abstract: Objective: Researcher-defined criteria for successful aging (SA) have been criticized for their limited perspective and failure to acknowledge subjective perceptions of older individuals. We assessed the extent to which older individuals consider specific factors, which they had suggested, to be important in defining SA. The present study had 2 objectives: (a) to develop a brief multidimensional questionnaire for assessing SA and to evaluate its psychometric properties; and (b) to examine age associations with… Show more

“…Living their life in concordance with their age gave them a psychological buffer and enhanced their resilience (Pruchno & Carr, 2017), as well as achieved life satisfaction (Ren & Luo, 2016). Thus, the willing acceptance of reality may be considered similar to positive spirit among the Western old-old (e.g., Lee et al, 2017), which can encourage proactive adaptation and positive affect to enhance older adults’ quality of life (Lee et al, 2017; Pruchno & Carr, 2017).…”

“…Participants' definition of self-reliant successful aging entailed both living in the present and anticipating a continuity of successes into the future, which suggests their proactivity toward their aging process (Kahana, & Kahana, 1996;Kahana, Kelley-Moore, & Kahana, 2012). Participants' notion of self-reliance was similar to that of Western older adults' (e.g., Hilton et al, 2012;Lee, Kahana, & Kahana, 2017;Nosraty et al, 2015), but less similar to that of Asian older adults' (e.g., Hsu, 2007;Luo & Chui, 2016). Participants' insistence on self-reliance may have been due to their concern for not burdening their children, which indicates ambivalence toward the Chinese filial tradition (Chen, 2017).…”
