“…The self-image of individuals seems to decrease with increasing age, which may be related to physiological, social status or loved ones losses. 23 Also regarding the variable age, according to a study in Ontario, in Canada, older respondents report lower health control, self-efficacy and self-esteem since the greater the survival, the greater the chance of developing chronic diseases 24 . These disorders can limit or restrict the possibilities of social support because of changes in the emotional state by restricting the activities that encourage self-esteem in the "co-residents" elderly.…”

Objetivo: avaliar a autoestima e sua associação com as condições sociais em idosos corresidentes no Vale do Jequitinhonha, Minas Gerais. Métodos: Estudo epidemiológico, tipo inquérito domiciliar de base populacional, realizado com 279 idosos, residentes na zona urbana e rural do município de Salto da Divisa-MG, sem déficit cognitivo segundo critérios do Mini Exame do Estado Mental. Para obter os dados utilizou-se a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg e o questionário Brazil Old Age Schedule. Os dados foram tabulados e analisados no SPSS®. Para verificar a associação utilizou-se o teste do qui-quadrado de Pearson (X2), com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Quanto a autoestima, 22,9% apresentaram alta, 69,5% normal e 7,5% baixa autoestima. Diferenças significativas foram identificadas entre a autoestima e as variáveis escolaridade (p=0,005) e satisfação com os coabitantes (p=0,048). Conclusão: Na população pesquisada, possuir escolaridade e as relações interpessoais em domicílio se configurou como fatores protetores para a boa autoestima.

“…O envelhecimento é acompanhado por perdas que contribuem para a redução da satisfação com o próprio corpo (Gripo & Hill, 2008), fato que pode estar relacionado às perdas físicas, funcionais e sociais (Schieman & Campbell, 2001). …”

RESUMOObjetivou-se investigar a validade de construto e a consistência interna da Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg (RSES) (1965) para idosos brasileiros. Participaram 292 idosos (67.54; DP = 6.90 anos) praticantes de atividades físicas na cidade de Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Para analisar a validade de construto, realizou-se a análise fatorial, descrita em duas etapas: a análise dos componentes principais e a análise dos pesos fatoriais. Após, procedeu-se à rotação oblíqua, por meio do método Oblimin. Para verificar a consistência interna da escala, utilizou-se o coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. Observou-se a existência de dois fatores, que, juntos, explicaram 51% da variância total dos resultados da escala. O primeiro desses fatores sozinho explicou 38% dessa variância e o segundo por apenas 13.4% da mesma. A análise fatorial sem rotação indicou que a escala pode ser considerada unidimensional. No entanto, após a rotação, verificou-se que os itens negativos constituem o primeiro fator e os positivos o segundo fator. O alfa de Cronbach verificado foi de 0.812, considerado bom. Observou-se que a RSES apresentou qualidades psicométricas aceitáveis para a pesquisa com idosos brasileiros praticantes de atividades físicas, desta forma, pode ser considerado um instrumento válido e confiável para ser utilizado com essa população. Palavras-chave: autoestima, idoso, validade dos testes ABSTRACT The present research aimed at investigating the construct validity and reliability of the Rosenberg's Selfesteem Scale (RSES) (1965) for Brazilian older adults. 292 elderly participants (67.54, DP = 6.90 years) who do physical activities in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The analysis of the data was made in two steps: the analysis of the principal components and analysis of the factor loadings. To examine the construct validity we carried out the factor analysis described in two stages: principal component analysis and factor weights. After, we proceeded with the oblique rotation, using the method Oblimin. To check the reliability of the scale, we used the Cronbach's alpha. It was observed that there were two factors that together accounted for 51% of the total variance of the results of the scale. The first of these factors solely explained for 38% of the variance, and the second by only 13.4% of the variance. The factor analysis without rotation indicated that the scale can be considered one-dimensional. However, after the rotation, it was found that the negatives are the first factor and the second positive factor. Cronbach's alpha was established 0,812, considered good. It was observed that the RSES had acceptable psychometric qualities for research on Brazilian elderly who practice physical activities, thus can be considered a valid and reliable instrument for use with this population.

“…Efficacious people are more able to persevere in the face of challenges because they believe they can change situations and behaviours to produce more positive outcomes (Schieman & Campbell, 2001). The concept of self-efficacy was enunciated and refined by Bandura (1977), who observed that people who perceived themselves as powerless to exert influence over situations tended to be overwhelmed by apprehension, apathy, and despair.…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of age in influencing the relationships among general self‐efficacy, proactive attitude, and proactive coping in unemployed people. The sample consisted of 55 male and 49 female unemployed Australians participating in Job Search Training courses. They completed the General Self‐Efficacy (GSE) Scale, the Proactive Attitude (PA) Scale, and the Proactive Coping (PC) Scale. The GSE, PA, and PC scores were found to be correlated, and a moderating effect for age was found on the relationship between PA and GSE. Regression analysis indicated that the moderation process could be explained by a mediating effect of PC. The results are discussed in terms of social learning theory, and implications are drawn regarding customisation of training programs for the unemployed.
