El objetivo de este estudio es realizar la adaptación y validación al castellano de las escalas “Tenacious Goal Pursuit and Flexible Goal Adjustment” y “Goal Disengagement and Goal Reengagement”. La muestra se compone de 681 estudiantes de la Facultad de Psicología de Málaga. El análisis factorial exploratorio muestra el mismo número de factores a seleccionar que las escalas originales, ratificado mediante análisis factorial confirmatorio. El alfa de Cronbach, la fiabilidad test-retest y las correlaciones entre escalas también son similares a las de los instrumentos originales. Se estudia la validez de criterio mediante correlaciones con medidas de afecto positivo y negativo y bienestar, con una muestra diferente de 201 estudiantes. Por todo ello, y a pesar de la limitación de que la muestra esté compuesta únicamente por universitarios, se considera si bien la adaptación muestra propiedades psicométricas aceptables, se debe seguir trabajando en su mejora.

Flexible Goal Adjustment

We aimed to examine the roles of tenacious goal pursuit (TGP) and flexible goal adjustment (FGA), mediated by positive self-perceptions of aging (PSA), in Chinese older couples’ life satisfaction. Using a cross-sectional design, 245 Chinese older couples (age range: 55–93 years) completed measures of TGP, FGA, PSA, and life satisfaction. The results showed that (a) spousal interrelations existed for TGP and FGA; (b) TGP and FGA had significant actor effects on life satisfaction, with FGA having a stronger effect; (c) although the partner effect of FGA did not differ between husbands and wives, husbands’ TGP was positively associated with wives’ life satisfaction, but not vice versa; and (d) PSA mediated the effects of TGP and FGA on life satisfaction at the actor and partner levels. These results have implications for developing couple-based interventions to enhance successful aging, with a focus on promoting both partners’ accommodative coping and positive age beliefs.

Flexible Goal Adjustment

Objectives: Assimilative and accommodative coping strategies have hardly been studied in relation to leisure activities in old age. We investigated whether tenacious goal pursuit (TGP) and flexible goal adjustment (FGA) influence the association between physical performance and participation in leisure activities. Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted among 187 community-dwelling people aged 79 to 93 years. TGP, FGA, and leisure activity participation were asked with questionnaires. Physical performance was assessed with the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). Results: TGP moderated the relationship between physical performance and leisure activity participation. Despite low physical performance, people with high TGP had close to mean level of leisure activity participation, whereas low TGP was associated with very little activity. Most notably, people without high TGP had fewer outdoor activities and group activities outside home. Similar effects were not found for FGA. Discussion: Persistency, rather than flexibility, in goal pursuit appears to help older people be active in their leisure time.
