| Annotation | This paper reviews the literature on the relation of coping and control processes to health outcomes in late adulthood and presents new data on relations between coping and control processes and health for 295 Canadian World War II veterans. The results for the veterans showed that health was positively associated with cognitive coping and negatively associated with behavioural coping and avoidance. No association was found between perceived locus of control and health. These findings, together with those in the literature. are discussed in terms of their implications for future research on the role of coping and control in health maintenance and their significance for people working with older persons.
