AnnotationThe relationships between reminiscence functions and attachment styles, reminiscence and personality factors, and attachment and personality were examined in 40 patients attending an American geropsychiatric outpatient clinic. They were administered the Reminiscence Functions Scale (RFS), the NEO-FFI, and the Relationship Questionnaire. Compared to insecurely attached older patients, those securely attached scored higher on the teach/inform reminiscence function. Consistent with previous research, relationships were found between the extroversion personality factor and conversation reminiscence; and between the openness personality factor and both identity and problem-solving reminiscence functions.
