| Annotation | The question of how middle-aged people perceive age has not received much attention in research. A comprehensive US survey examined three age-role self-concepts: cognitive, ideal, and social ages. Participants were aged between 40 and 69 years, and viewed themselves as middle-aged. The investigation reviewed inner-age research and evaluated inner-age infrastructure (with t-tests and correlations), as well as connections between inner-age and participants' characteristics (with covariates, partial correlations, and regressions) in the context of eight psychographic trait sets: sex identity; quality of life; health; self-consciousness, societal traits, venturesomeness, supermarket shopping involvement, and exercise activities. The three inner ages, while closely related, diverged in their distribution patterns, in mean ages, as well as in their covariates and correlates. (AKM). |
