“…Sense of self-dignity is seen as one of the key factors supporting positive aging (Draper, 2021). Previous studies on sense of self-dignity among people in the second half of life have shown that it is associated with a higher quality of life (Tadd, 2017), better physical and mental health (Brudek & Steuden, 2018; Cooper et al, 2017), marital satisfaction (Brudek, 2015), readiness to forgive the partner (Brudek & Steuden, 2017a, 2017b), evaluation and course of the treatment process (Kluft, 2018), and the quality of palliative care services (Laitinen et al, 2016). Bearing in mind the above-mentioned numerous positive relationships of sense of self-dignity with various dimensions of good psychosocial functioning of people in the second half of life (aged 50+), it is worth looking for psychological factors responsible for the maintenance and growth of adults’ sense of self-dignity.…”

For people in the second half of life (aged 50+) struggling with difficulties arising from the normative aging process, religion can be a positive help in adaptation to old age. This adaptation is measured, inter alia, by a high sense of self-dignity. An analysis of literature on the psychology of aging and old age suggests that the influence of religious meaning system on sense of self-dignity may be mediated by wisdom. This study explores the relationship between religious meaning system and sense of self-dignity and wisdom as a potential mediator of this relationship among adults 50+. Longitudinal studies with triplicate measurements were carried out on a sample of 246 Polish individuals aged 50+. The mediation analysis with bias-corrected bootstrapping method confirmed that the relation between religious meaning system and sense of selfdignity is mediated by wisdom. These results suggest that religious meaning system, contributing to the increase of wisdom of adults in the second half of life, has a positive effect on the increase in sense of selfdignity.

“…Wyrażana w praktyce wzmacnia wiarę, że jest się kochanym przez współmałżonka (Dakowicz, 2015b). Im wyższe zdolności w tym względzie są przejawiane przez współmałżonków, tym większe jest prawdopodobieństwo tworzenia satysfakcjonującej ich relacji (Jankowska, Ryś, 2011;Brudek, Korulczyk, Ciuła, 2018;Milani, Hosseini, Matbouei, Nasiri, 2020).…”

Working under the assumption that the marital relationship has the greatest influence on the atmosphere of family life, 75 married couples performing parental tasks were examined and divided, using M. Braun-Gałkowska’s Marriage Success Scale, into two groups: married couples with a higher and lower level of satisfaction with their relationships. Next, the personality characteristics of the surveyed spouses were determined and compared using the following research tools: H.G. Gough’s and A.B. Heilbrun’s Adjective Check List, Z. Uchnast’s Sense of Security Questionnaire, the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire developed by A. Ciechanowicz, A. Jaworowicz, A. Matczak, the Social Competence Questionnaire developed by A. Matczak, M. Kaźmierczak’s and M. Plopa’s Questionnaire of Marriage Communication, M. Braun-Gałkowska’s Family Attitudes Scale. Spouses with a higher level of satisfaction with their relationship, when compared to spouses with a lower level of satisfaction, are characterized by greater socialization, selfcontrol, and kindness; they obtained higher results determining their level of emotional intelligence and the effectiveness of their behaviours in intimate situations. The presented characteristics of spouses with a higher level of satisfaction with their relationship can be achieved as a result of personal development and, above all, of ongoing dialogue in the ever-changing reality of marital life. Taking advantage of the expanding offer of various forms of individual and group support can be useful in this respect. Workshops based on the participants’ involvement and referring to their own experiences are particularly helpful in working on personal development and deepening the marital relationship.

“…These new properties, which are a consequence of the gerotranscendence process, become an important context in the overall balance of life, including the area of marital relations (Lazarus and Lazarus, 2006). As a consequence, what was once the subject of harm and suffering, today, in retrospect, subjected to redefinition, may become the subject of forgiveness that will strengthen the bond between spouses (Brudek, 2015;Brudek and Steuden, 2017). Thus, more complex models, as well as focusing on particular age groups, are required.…”

As a result of the gerotranscendence process, marital satisfaction becomes especially important in old age. At the same time, researchers emphasise that the effect of seniors’ personality on their marital satisfaction depends on many mediators. The analysis of literature suggests that one such variable might be forgiveness. Thus, the aim of the present research was to investigate whether forgiveness mediates the relationship between personality traits and marital satisfaction in late adulthood. The study involved 315 participants aged 60–75. Three psychological methods were used: (a) the Marital Satisfaction Questionnaire for Older Persons; (b) the NEO-Five Factor Inventory; and (c) the Marital Offence-Specific Forgiveness Scale. The analyses that have been undertaken revealed a number of significant associations. Neuroticism was positively related to resentment-avoidance and negatively to benevolence and marital satisfaction, whereas extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness were negatively correlated with resentment and positively with benevolence and satisfaction. The results also showed that both dimensions of dyadic forgiveness mediated the relationships between personality traits and marital satisfaction in ageing persons. They suggest that forgiveness of a spouse, when enhanced, could work as a buffer against the negative impact of neuroticism on marital happiness, as well as allowing the transfer of positive aspects of extraverted, agreeable and conscientious tendencies into marriage. Practical implications of the study for counselling older adults are recommended.
