Work Centrality

This aimed to investigate the effect of work centrality during one’s entire career on the post-retirement adaptation(esp. active ageing) among older persons. Specifically, it was intended to study the mediating effect of generativity on the work centrality and active ageing and the moderating effect of future time perspective on the relationship between generativity and active ageing. By analysing the data from the retired older persons(55~70 yrs.), it was found in this study that generativity fully mediated the effect of work centrality on active ageing the following results. However, there was not significant moderating effect of future time perspective. These results did not support the role theory, but confirm the prediction based on the continuity theory which holds that older adults attempt to preserve and maintain existing internal and external structures and they prefer to accomplish this objective by using strategies tied to their past experiences.

The Purpose of this study is to analyze psychological factors which be able to have an effect on Future career design. In our study, Future career design is consisted of Career planning, Career development, and Active-ageing. Based on personality-beliefs-behavior model, proactive personality and openness to experience are selected. as personality traits that have an effect on Future career design. Protean career orientation and Career future time perspective which are belief variables are chosen as mediation factors between two personalities and Future career design. In order to demonstrate mediation effects of beliefs factors, between Future career design and personalities, multi mediation analysis is used. Followings are results of analysis of data for 203 baby boomers having a jobs. First, protean career orientation, future time perspective, career future time perspective have full mediation effects, between two personalities and career plan. Second, protean career orientation and career future time perspective have partial mediation effects, between two personalities and career development. Third, between proactive personality and active ageing intention, future time perspective and career future time perspective have partial mediation effects. On the other hand, between openness to experience and active ageing intention, there are full mediation effects of 3 belief factors. As a result, our study demonstrate effects of personality factors and mediating factors of 3 beliefs for Future career designs. Our research also suggests that career management behavior be organized by personality-belief-behavior model. Lastly, this study suggests importance of psychological traits in career design for aged baby boomers.

The purpose of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS-T) and examine age-group differences in the predictors of respondents’ future time perspective. Data were collected from a sample of 202 young adults (aged 18–28 years) and 127 community-dwelling older adults (aged 60–86 years). The internal consistency and test–retest methods were employed to assess the reliability of the FTPS-T, and the FTPS-T’s validity was assessed using construct- and criterion-related validity. The reliability and validity analyses demonstrated that the FTPS-T had satisfactory psychometric properties. Multiple regression analyses revealed that the strongest predictor of future time perspective in young adults was subjective psychological health, whereas chronological and subjective (i.e., physical) ages were stronger predictors among older adults. These findings indicate that subjective variables shape the perceptions of a lifetime, and the results are discussed in the context of socioemotional selectivity theory.

ABSTRACTWhy is it that many people fail to seek retirement planning advice when doing so is clearly indicated? Distrust of financial intermediaries is often presented as the common answer. But this paper shows that trust issues are only part of the answer; an appreciable proportion of individuals experience anxiety at the prospect of visiting a financial adviser. In the present investigation, financial adviser anxiety is studied among 950 Dutch adults over the age of 50. Anxiety levels were measured using a six-item scale that was administered as part of a larger nationwide investigation on retirement attitudes and behaviour. Findings revealed that nearly one-third of respondents reported having moderate to severe levels of anxiety at the prospect of visiting a financial professional. Furthermore, a hierarchical regression analysis revealed that strong predictors of anxiety included one's educational level, income, age, level of future time perspective, risk tolerance, financial knowledge and scepticism regarding whether advice from a financial professional can be trusted. A cluster analysis using demographic and psychological covariates identified three separate groups of older adults that were found to differ in terms of their mean level of anxiety. Those who had low levels of education and low incomes were found to disproportionately display high levels of financial adviser anxiety.
