| Annotation | The major focus of this study is on the assessment of individual differences (relating to age, gender, ethnicity and education) in specific ("molecular") coping behaviours. Data from the Georgia Centenarian Study in the US was used to explore 35 specific coping reactions for 74 sexagenarians, 70 octogenarians and 116 centenarians. Significant age group, gender, and education differences were found for 14 coping reactions. 4 items were exclusively affected by age, 5 were affected only by gender, and 3 were affected only by education. No ethnicity differences were found. The largest effect for an age group was found for accepting health problems. (RH). |
