Predicting Control Beliefs in Older Adults: A Micro-Longitudinal Study

The Journals of Gerontology: Series B, 75(5), e1–e12.

By: S. Zhang n, A. Gamaldo*, S. Neupert n & J. Allaire n

Ed(s): F. Infurna

author keywords: Cognition; Daily stressor; Emotional well-being; Health; Intraindividual variability
MeSH headings : Age Factors; Aged / psychology; Aged, 80 and over / psychology; Cognition; Emotional Adjustment; Female; Health Status; Humans; Individuality; Internal-External Control; Longitudinal Studies; Male; Middle Aged / psychology; Neuropsychological Tests; Psychological Tests; Self Efficacy; Surveys and Questionnaires
TL;DR: Multilevel models indicated that on days when older adults had higher sleep self-efficacy, more positive affect, and less negative affect, they also had more internal locus of control and higher perceived competence, as well as the need to study well-being and cognition antecedents of control beliefs in future studies.
