Self-regulation of common age-related challenges: Examining psychobiological pathways to healthy aging.
FY 2012-13
Summary
This research program will examine how older adults can manage common problems (e.g., health threats, stressful events, life regrets) and protect their emotional well-being, biological functioning (e.g., cortisol and immune function) and physical health. It is expected that older adults can maintain their psychological and physical health if they are able to engage in overcoming problems that can be resolved, and if they are able to disengage from goals that are unattainable due to a problem. Such an adaptive adjustment to the opportunities for overcoming a problem is expected to results in long-term pathways of emotional well-being, biological functioning, and physical health.
