Abstract(s)
Será a Tonalidade do Humor (TH) dos adultos idosos influenciada pela idade e pelas
estratégias de Selecção, Optimização e Compensação (SOC)? O objectivo do presente estudo
consiste no teste de um Modelo Preditor da Tonalidade do Humor (MPTH) em adultos idosos.
A amostra integra um total de 240 adultos idosos autónomos, não institucionalizados, com um
leque etário entre os 65 e os 90 anos (M=72), residentes na Área da Grande Lisboa,
seleccionados através de métodos de amostragem não probabilísticos e controlados para
demência e depressão. Após a obtenção de modelos de medida bem ajustados (análise
factorial confirmatória, LISREL8) para o Questionário SOC-Versão Reduzida (Amado, Diniz,
& Martins, 2006) e para o Índice de Satisfação com a Vida (Diniz, Amado, & Gouveia, no
prelo), o qual operacionaliza o constructo TH, testou-se o MPTH, verificando-se que a idade e
as estratégias SOC são bons preditores da TH e que, as estratégias SOC amplificam o efeito
da idade sobre a TH.
ABSTRACT: It will be the Mood Tone (MT) of old adults influenced by age and Selection, Optimization and Compensation (SOC) strategies? The aim of the present study is to test a predictor model of MT in old adults. The sample includes 240 autonomous old adults, non institucionalizaded, an age range between 65 and 90 years old (M=72), residents in the subarea of Lisbon and selected by non-probabilistic methods of sampling. A control for dementia and depression was previously made. After the attainment of well-adjusted models of measure (Confirmatory Factorial Analysis, LISREL8) for portuguese version of SOC Questionnaire-Short version (Amado, Diniz, & Martins, 2006; Freund & Baltes, 1998) and for portuguese version of Life Satisfaction Índex-A (Diniz, Amado, & Gouveia, in prelo; Neugarten et al., 1961) in which we can find the MT construct, the predictor model of MT was tested and it was found that age and SOC strategies are good preditors of MT. It was also found that SOC strategies amplifies the age effect over the MT.
