The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between physical activity (PA) and mental health among older adults as measured by objective and subjective PA-assessment instruments. Pedometers (PED), accelerometers (ACC), and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) were administered to measure 1 week of PA among 84 adults age 55–87 (mean = 71) years. General mental health was measured using the Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS) and the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWL). Linear regressions revealed that PA estimated by PED significantly predicted 18.1%, 8.3%, and 12.3% of variance in SWL and positive and negative affect, respectively, whereas PA estimated by the PASE did not predict any mental health variables. Results from ACC data were mixed. Hotelling–William tests between correlation coefficients revealed that the relationship between PED and SWL was significantly stronger than the relationship between PASE and SWL. Relationships between PA and mental health might depend on the PA measure used.

El afecto está formado por dos dimensiones dominantes: el afecto positivo (AP) y el afecto negativo (AN). Ambas dimensiones están relacionadas con el ajuste psicológico de la persona y la satisfacción con la vida. El presente estudio tiene un carácter exploratorio y pretende hacer un primer análisis correlacional entre distintos constructos: disposición emocional, rendimiento académico, salud mental y satisfacción con la vida en futuros docentes. La muestra estaba compuesta por 143 estudiantes de diferentes Grados de Educación, de las especialidades de Primaria e Infantil. Para ellos se han usado las adaptaciones al castellano de los siguientes instrumentos de evaluación: el Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), el Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5) y la Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). Entre los resultados de mayor interés se encontró que el afecto positivo se relacionó con el rendimiento académico, la salud mental y la satisfacción con la vida. Además los afectos positivos y negativos junto con la satisfacción con la vida se constituyeron como las variables predictoras de la salud mental del futuro profesorado. Un análisis y discusión más extensa de los resultados se incluye en el documento.

Tyrimo tikslas – ištirti 60 metų ir vyresnio amžiaus moterų fizinio aktyvumo, gyvenimo kokybės ir su­bjektyvios gerovės ypatumus bei tarpusavio sąsajas. Tyrimo medžiaga ir metodai. Vienmomentis skers­pjūvio tipo tyrimas atliktas 2017 m. rugsėjo-gruodžio mėn. Tiriamųjų apklausa buvo vykdoma tiesiogiai, naudojant bendrąjį ir specialiuosius klausimynus. Bendrajame klausimyne buvo registruojami socio­demografiniai duomenys, ūgis, kūno masė, apskai­čiuotas kūno masės indeksas. Specialieji klausimynai buvo skirti įvertinti senyvo amžiaus moterų fizinį aktyvumą (angl. Physical Activity Scale for Elderly, PASE), gyvenimo kokybę (angl. Control, Autonomy, Self-realization, Pleasure, CASP-19) ir subjektyvią gerovę (angl. Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, PANAS; angl. Satisfaction With Life Scale, SWLS). Statistinė duomenų analizė atlikta naudojant SPSS 18.0 for Windows programų paketą. Rezultatai. Tyrime dalyvavo 103 moterys, kurių vidu­tinis amžius – 71,37±7,58 metai. Didžiąją tiriamųjų dalį sudarė miesto gyventojos, turinčios aukštąjį išsi­lavinimą, daugiau nei pusė jų gyveno vienos. PASE, CASP-19 (kontrolės, autonomijos sritys), PANAS-PA ir PANAS-NA klausimynų vidutiniai įverčiai statistiš­kai reikšmingai skyrėsi 60–69 m., 70–79 m. ir 80 m. ir vyresnio amžiaus grupėse. CASP-19 klausimyno kontrolės srities vidutiniai įverčiai buvo mažiausi našlių moterų grupėje, aukščiausi – neištekėjusių arba išsiskyrusių moterų grupėje. PASE, CASP-19 klausi­myno autonomijos srities vidutiniai įverčiai didesni aukštąjį išsilavinimą turinčių moterų grupėje, taip pat jos jaučia daugiau teigiamų (PANAS-PA) ir mažiau neigiamų (PANAS-NA) emocijų, nei moterys su ma­žesniu išsilavinimu. Fizinis aktyvumas vidutiniškai stipriai koreliavo su teigiamo emocingumo vidutiniais įverčiais. Nustatyti vidutinio stiprumo koreliaciniai ryšiai tarp gyvenimo kokybės ir subjektyvią gerovę vertinančių klausimynų vidutinių įverčių. Išvados. 1. Mūsų tyrimo rezultatai parodė, kad 80 m. ir vyresnio amžiaus moterų fizinis aktyvumas mažes­nis, gyvenimo kokybė blogesnė, jos patyrė mažiau teigiamų ir daugiau neigiamų emocijų, negu jaunes­nės (60–79 m.) senyvo amžiaus moterys. Mieste gy­venančių, aukštąjį išsilavinimą turinčių moterų fizinis aktyvumas buvo didesnis, jos patyrė daugiau teigiamų ir mažiau neigiamų emocijų negu gyvenančios kaime. Mieste gyvenančių moterų gyvenimo kokybė buvo geresnė nei gyvenančių kaime. 2. Senyvo amžiaus moterų fizinis aktyvumas stipriai susijęs su teigiamu emocingumu, gyvenimo kokybė – su teigiamu emo­cingumu ir pasitenkinimu gyvenimu. Pasitenkinimas gyvenimu buvo susijęs su savęs realizavimo sritimi.

The Relationship

The aim of this study was to longitudinally investigate the association between resilience and mental health in older adults and to determine the influence of physical activity on this relationship. A total of 291 older adults were included in a 2-year follow-up study. Adjusted linear regression models evaluated the association between resilience at baseline and mental health after 2 years in sufficiently and insufficiently physically active older adults. A negative correlation was found between resilience at baseline and depression, anxiety, and stress after 2 years for the overall sample. This association changed after stratifying the group. Sufficiently physically active individuals made greater use of the resilience components “Self-Sufficiency” and “Perseverance,” whereas insufficiently physically active individuals made greater use of “Meaning of Life” and “Existential Singularity.” Physical activity can influence the relationship between resilience and mental health. These results can help guide the devising of more effective interventions for this age group.

ABSTRACTBackground: Attitudes are known to exert a powerful influence on a range of behaviors. The objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of attitudes toward one's own aging to satisfaction with life and physical and mental health measured in a sample of community-dwelling older adults.Methods: Adults who were part of a larger study of health and well-being in rural and regional Australia aged ≥60 years (N = 421) completed a cross-sectional postal survey comprising the Attitudes to Aging Questionnaire, the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), the Satisfaction with Life Scale, the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory, and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale.Results: Overall, attitudes to aging were positive in this sample. More positive attitudes to aging were associated with higher levels of satisfaction with life, better self-report physical and mental health on the SF-12, and lower levels of anxiety and depression, after controlling for confounding variables. Better financial status and being employed were both associated with more positive attitudes to aging and better self-reported physical health. Relationship status was also significantly associated with mental health and satisfaction with life, but not physical health.Conclusion: The promotion of successful aging is increasingly becoming important in aging societies. Having positive attitudes to aging may contribute to healthier mental and physical outcomes in older adults. Overcoming negative stereotypes of aging through change at the societal and individual level may help to promote more successful aging.

Activation Patterns

Physical activity has been consistently linked to better mental health—greater positive affect and life satisfaction, less negative affect, anxiety, and depression (Petruzzello et al., 1991; McAuley & Rudolph, 1995). Brain activation patterns have been linked to dispositional affect: greater relative left anterior hemisphere activation relates to positive affect, and greater relative right anterior activation relates to negative affect (Davidson, 1992). In this study, measures of resting EEG frontal asymmetry, dispositional affect, and physical activity were obtained from 41 older adults. Frontal asymmetry significantly predicted positive affect. In the high active group (n = 21), frontal asymmetry significantly predicted affective valence and satisfaction with life; in the low active group (n = 20), it significantly predicted negative affect. Physical activity was also significantly related to better dispositional affect. These findings suggest that the relationship between frontal brain activity and dispositional affect is influenced by physical activity in older adults.

Abstract Background Many previous studies have proved that positive psychology can promote mental health. However, little is known about how and when it promotes mental health in older adults. Methods The data of this study were sourced from the 2017 wave of Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), involving 1,537 older adults aged 60 and above. OLS regression model was used to explore the impact of positive psychology on mental health of the elderly. Moreover, stata 16.0 was used to measure the moderating effect of individualism on the relationship between positive psychology and mental health. Results After controlling for demographic characteristics, socio-economic status and lifestyle factors, the regression results suggest that positive psychology was associated with mental health (coefficient = 0.112, p < 0.01). In addition, the positive relationship was significantly stronger for people who were older, married, lived in urban areas, with higher education and higher subjective social class position, and higher exercise frequency. Moreover, the moderating effect analysis results suggest that individualism strengthened the relationship between positive psychology and mental health. Conclusions This study reveals that positive psychology has a positive effect on mental health among the elderly, and the positive health effect shows significant age, marital status, living areas, education background, social class position and physical exercise inequalities. Furthermore, this study also provides new evidence indicating that individualism positively moderates the relationship between positive psychology and mental health. Promoting positive psychology can be a promising way for China to promote psychological care for the elderly in the future.

Abstract There are mixed findings as to whether social media use (SMU) is positively or negatively related to well-being (positive/negative affect), and this relationship varies by age. The current study seeks to further explore this relationship by examining physical activity (PA) as a potential mediator at both a within (intraindividual) and between-person (interindividual) level across adulthood. The data are from the Midlife in the United States Refresher eight-day daily diary study (N=782, ages 25-75) with self-reported frequency of SMU, PA, and well-being (positive/negative affect). Multilevel structural equation modeling simultaneously tested how the relationships between the variables differed at both the between- and within-person levels. Between-person results showed that across the week, those who reported less SMU reported engaging in more PA, and more PA was associated with more positive affect. PA significantly mediated the relationship between SMU and positive affect for midlife and older adults, but not for younger adults. Effects for negative affect were not significant. Within-person results indicated that days with more PA were associated with more positive affect; however, PA did not mediate the relationship between SMU and positive or negative affect. These findings suggest the benefits of engaging in PA on one’s positive emotional well-being at both the between- and within-person levels. However, for midlife and older adults, more SMU across the week may take away time from engaging in PA, which in turn lowers their positive affect. Implications of the effects of SMU on PA and well-being across adulthood are discussed.

Abstract Background Depression, anxiety, and stress are ranked among the top mental health concerns faced by university students. The transition to higher education coincides with a new social environment and adaptation that has potential to increase mental health conditions. However, limited studies in Malaysia have examined the relationship among depression, anxiety, stress, and satisfaction with life with interpersonal needs. Thus, this study was performed to assess the relationship among depression, anxiety, stress, and satisfaction with life, with interpersonal needs (perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness) as moderators. Method A cross-sectional study using convenient sampling method was conducted among 430 students (Mean aged= 20.73 years; SD = 1.26 years) in two private universities in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire comprising the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), Satisfaction with Life Scale, and Interpersonal Needs Questionnaire were used. Results Students who experienced depression and anxiety reported higher satisfaction with life under the influenced of low perceived burdensomeness. Perceived burdensomeness, when coupled with depression (β = 0.76, p < 0.01) and anxiety (β = 0.79, p < 0.01), contributed 15.8% of variance in satisfaction with life. Students who experienced stress reported higher satisfaction with life under the influence of high thwarted belonginess (β = 0.73, p < 0.01), contributing 17.0% of variance in satisfaction with life. Conclusions For university students who experienced depression and anxiety symptoms, mental health practitioners, researchers, and teaching staff may need to be aware and educate the students on how to reduce and manage their perceptions on perceived burdensomeness. For university students who experienced stress symptoms, the focus shall not be solely on managing perception towards thwarted belonginess as it is not necessarily perceive as a negative ‘interpersonal need’ in this study. Future studies are required to substantiate this result.
