“…More specifically, once an individual's intention to engage in entrepreneurial behaviour is developed, a positive age-based image of entrepreneurial self -that induces the individual to engage in knowledgeacquisition activities -makes them more likely to be certain in successfully exploiting opportunities, and particularly to avoid pursuing start-up opportunities that lack promise and realise the ones that hold promise (Dimov, 2010;Mitchell & Shepherd, 2010). The individuals who identify their room for manoeuver as wide enough for entrepreneurship are also more likely to develop stronger ambitions and capability beliefs (Westerhof & Barrett, 2005;Teuscher, 2009) that become manifested in entrepreneurial behaviour.…”

“…However, research on subjective and cognitive age across a variety of contextssuch as life satisfaction (Westerhof & Barrett, 2005;Teuscher, 2009) and a broad range of consumer behaviours (Moschis & Mathur, 2006;Chang, 2008;Iyer, Reisenwitz, & Eastman, 2008) -indicates that chronological age by itself has limited predictive relevance, suggesting that alternative conceptualisations of age are required.…”

“…Estudos norteamericanos e ingleses encontram frequentemente que "juventude subjetiva" é associada a melhores indicadores de bem-estar e satisfação com a vida (Westerhof & Barret 2005), confi ança nas próprias habilidades e competências (Schafer & Shippee, 2010) e melhor saúde entre os idosos que assim se identifi cam (Demakakos, Gjonca, & Nazroo, 2007), indicando reposta adaptativa em relação às transições etárias.…”

“…Uma vez que a literatura internacional salienta que as avaliações subjetivas que os indivíduos fazem a respeito da sua própria idade infl uenciam o bem-estar (Westerhof & Barret, 2005), a motivação e os investimentos em recursos socioemocionais (Carstensen, 2006) e afetam condições de saúde física e mental (Demakakos et al, 2007), o levantamento de dados contextualizados sobre a temática podem trazer implicações para o conhecimento e para as práticas em Psicologia e Gerontologia no Brasil.…”

ResumoIndicadores de atitudes etárias representados por categorização e identifi cação etária e suas relações com variáveis sociodemográfi cas e de saúde física e emocional foram investigados entre idosos residentes na comunidade. A amostra foi composta por 302 idosos participantes do Estudo FIBRA -Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros (Pólo Universidade Estadual de Campinas [Unicamp]; M = 72,3 anos; DP = 5,76; 64,6% mulheres), com escolaridade média de 3,32 anos (DP = 2,61) e renda de um a três salários mínimos (53,7%). A existência e atribuição de idade para início da velhice foram tomadas como indicadoras de categorização etária e o autorrelato de sentir-se idoso indicou identifi cação etária. Embora a maior parte dos idosos tenha atribuído uma idade para esse início (M = 62,3 anos; DP = 14,66), a maioria (60,3%) não se identifi cou como pertencente a essa categoria etária. Escolaridade, fragilidade e satisfação com a vida revelaram ser importantes preditores dessas atitudes em relação à velhice. Palavras-chave: Atitudes, idosos, envelhecimento. AbstractThis study investigated age categorization and identifi cation among elderly living in the community and their relationship with sociodemographic variables and physical and emotional health. The sample consisted of 302 elderly participants in the FIBRA study -Fragilidade em Idosos Brasileiros (Polo Universidade Estadual de Campinas [Unicamp]; M = 72.3 years old, SD = 5.76; 64.6% women), with average education of 3.32 years (SD = 2.61) and income from one to three minimum wages (53.7%). The belief of existence and age attributed to the onset of old age were taken as indicators of age categorization and the self-report of feeling like an elderly person was taken as age identifi cation. Although most elderly have assigned an age for the onset of old age (M = 62.3 anos; SD =14.66), most (60.3%) are not identifi ed as belonging to this age category. Education, frailty and life satisfaction were found to be important predictors of these attitudes towards old age.

The article is devoted to the description of the theoretical and empirical potential of the category of subjective age which is necessary to understand the ways of improvements in subjective well-being of elderly patients. The article particularizes the concept of subjective age and its contrast to the chronological age. It introduces the concept of positive and negative illusion of age. The article presents the system of mental representations which provides an assessment of one’s own age. Reviews of foreign studies have shown that elderly and old patients’ scores of their subjective ages vary. It is possible to observe an identical assessment of participants’ chronological age, but also the tendency for its understatement or overstatement. It is shown that a subjective rating of the age can be a useful tool for the early identification of persons with an increased risk of adverse outcomes of aging with a view to the application of early prevention and treatment strategies that affect the various components of health

Age Identity and Subjective Well-Being: A Comparison of the United States and Germany

Abstract: Age identities play a role in more varied aspects of psychosocial adaptation in the United States than in Germany. It is concluded that the cultural context needs to be included more explicitly in gerontological theories and research.
