ABSTRACT Ninety-five adults aged 60–91 completed measures of Body-as-Object Esteem (BOE) (i.e., appearance) and Body-as-Process (BPE) function) to explore gender differences in body esteem among older adults. As hypothesized, a significant age by interaction revealed that men become more disparaging the appearance function their bodies last decades life, while women do not. Level physical disability was negatively correlated with BOE, particularly for disabled women. Furthermore, as is seen...

Gender stereotypes of typical and optimal, mentally healthy aging were examined with sixty-year-old seventy-five-year-old women, men gender-unspecified older people as target persons. Respondents young adult individuals ( N = 232) their relatives/acquaintances 233). Perceptions varied depending on the age respondent, gender age. more pronounced than stereotypes: respondents described same-gender targets similarly same-age targets. Older women rated higher dimensions related to nurturance...

Among 68 students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, academic success was positively correlated time management skills and freedom from financial stress. As a group, higher grade point averages reported fewer coping resources than did academically lower achieving students.
