Rethinking your ideas about aging could be just the remedy you need to start to feel more comfortable in your skin—even if that skin is a little more wrinkly than it used to be, writes swhitbo
I have more say in setting my daily routine.As you can tell, the odd-numbered items reflect losses, and the even-numbered items represent gains. The areas covered include health and physical functioning , cognitive functioning , interpersonal relations , social-emotional functioning , and lifestyle and engagement .
A second scale assessed “attitudes toward own aging ,” with items such as “things keep getting worse as I get older”). Using these perceptions of aging measures as a function of the health, cognitive, and mental health variables described above across the 20-year span, the authors narrowed their predictive equation to those that made the most important contribution.
First, of the cognitive measures, only changes in digit span predicted more AARC gains and more AARC losses. Surprisingly, changes in working memory, or the skills you use in everyday activities, proved to have no bearing on perceived age. Declines in subjective, but not objective, health predicted more losses, reinforcing the point that if you feel you’re getting older health-wise, you’ll also perceive more age-related declines.
Using the AARC as a guidepost, then, you could perhaps start to put more of a positive spin on the changes happening to you as you get older rather than just focusing on the losses. Go back and look at the actual instrument and see which of the positive gains apply to you.
