“…Experience of these different negative stressors remains as a key threat to health and well-being during old age, being typically associated with disability, diminished quality of life and increased costs for health care and long-term care (Grant et al, 2010). Traditionally, social scientists and gerontologists have been characterized by a preoccupation with the declines of ageing, with relatively little emphasis on identifying positive gains (Ranzijn, 2002; Stirling, 2010). With life expectancy increasing, more research is needed focusing on positive correlates and personal resources related to health in later life so that longevity can be accompanied by increased quality of life.…”

This study examined whether adaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediate the relationship between forgiveness and health-related quality of life in a sample of 350 Spanish people aged 55 years and older. Positive refocusing and positive reappraisal strategies partially mediated the relation between forgiveness and mental health. Thus, focusing on planning partially mediated the relation between forgiveness and physical health. Our findings contribute to an emerging understanding of the underlying coping process between forgiveness and health outcomes and might provide preliminary insight for potential intervention for increasing quality of life via the promotion of forgiveness and adaptive coping in the elderly.

This paper presents a study to identify the problems and experiences that the elderly have using interactive TV (iTV) services. The study comprised an in-depth qualitative interview series backed up with a questionnaire survey; a list with the elderly's interaction problems and the reasons for wanting or not wanting to use iTV services was developed. These findings in turn lead to the formulation of a set of user requirements. The paper presents the studies carried out and the resulting design recommendations for iTV services for the elderly. The recommendations also take cognitive and as physiological impairments into consideration. The recommendations propose on increased ease-of-use, transparency, colour schemes, familiarity and a reduced set of iTV services for the elderly. Ultimately, designers should aim at customizable interface profiles for future iTV devices and services to better accommodate the diversity of users and especially the elderly.
