Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness positively related to higher support. Neuroticism was negatively associated with lower self-esteem negative autonomy support.Our findings suggest retirees are more vulnerable transition process they also likely experience problems resulting key resources.

Due to an increasing heterogeneity in retirement transitions, the measurement of age constitutes a major challenge for researchers and policymakers. In order better understand concept age, we compare series measures assessed on basis survey register data. We use data from Sweden, where flexible schemes are implemented available. link Swedish Level Living Survey with Longitudinal Integration Database Health Insurance Labour Market Studies. create four based these datasets, applying approaches that have been used previous literature. analyse means distributions evaluate correlations between them. Finally, regress common predictors such as gender or education examine potential differences size, direction statistical significance associations. find measure resembles following two ways defining data: first, at which people receive more than half their income old-age disability pension and, second, they were not gainfully employed least 2 years. This insight gives us understanding when transition process, individuals identify retirement. Moreover, it provides decision support working determine use.

Abstract Successfully adjusting to retirement, in terms of achieving psychological comfort with one's retirement life, represents a major challenge for older workers. Although current literature emphasizes that it may depend on the availability and fluctuation specific resources, little is known about which types how resources allow recent retirees adjust retirement. Drawing resource‐based dynamic model adjustment conservation theory, study aims elaborate theory resources' types, relative importance combinations caravans, processes through they shape successful adjustment. In consensual qualitative research using abductive reasoning aged 66–69, we find four resource types. We show their varies (from most important least: social interactions, life conditions, time management individuality) travel caravans within type. further propose highlighting these signal, acquisition processes. Overall, our findings offer theoretical empirical contributions perspective theory's understanding categorization, caravans.

Importantly, we expect how a person's his/her access post-retirement both depend on specific pathway retirement, resulting distinct post-retirement. Based data from German Socio-Economic Panel, categorized people as retiring employment, short- or unemployment, labour market inactivity due disability. then used dual-change score models compare trajectories satisfaction ten years before after transition.

Life satisfaction prevents decline in working memory, spatial cognition, and processing speed: Latent change score analyses across 23 years

European Psychiatry, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 65(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2022

Abstract Background Within-person growth in life satisfaction (LS) can protect against declines cognitive functioning, and, conversely, over time. However, most studies have been cross-sectional, thereby precluding causal inferences. Thus, we used bivariate dual latent change score modeling to test within-person change-to-future relations between LS and cognition. Method Community adults completed in-person tests of verbal working memory (WM), processing speed, spatial cognition, an self-report. Five waves assessment occurred across 23 years. Results Reduction predicted future decreases WM (| d | = 0.150–0.354). Additionally, depletion speed a decrease ( 0.142–0.269). cognition did not predict 0.085).

Опубликована: Ноя. 7, 2019

Abstract Retirement from work is a major life event requiring adaptation to new circumstances. The resource-based dynamic model of retirement adjustment suggests that well-being will change due changes in individual resources. In the present study, we test this hypothesis by investigating longitudinal and bidirectional associations between satisfaction perceived resources (i.e., self-esteem, autonomy, social support, self-rated physical health, cognitive ability, financial satisfaction) over 4-year period transition retirement. Our sample included annual assessment data 497 older adults (aged 60–66) population-based HEalth, Ageing, Transitions Sweden (HEARTS) study. Results bivariate latent score models showed weak but consistent transition. Analyses cross-lagged effects also revealed associations. Self-esteem, total resource capability were positively related satisfaction, was ability. accounted for 12% first years following Life 16% autonomy findings demonstrate are important transition, at same time as overall accounts how perceive evaluate our own during process.
