| Annotation | Research has shown that the incidence of worry in the general older population is low. This study compared worry in two cohorts, older persons who were retired and persons who were not retired. Worry was assessed using the Worry Scale Revised (WSR) and the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ). Findings showed that amount of worry was significantly greater in the pre-retirement group. Women were found to worry more than men on both the WSR and the PSWQ. Significant correlations between WSR and Worry Diary, PSWQ, and SCL-90-R (anxiety, depression, and obsession-compulsiveness) scores strengthened claims for the WSR as a valid measure of worry in older persons.
