“…In the context of physical activity, researchers have found that higher levels of self-efficacy were predictive of increases in exercise behavior and maintenance of the exercise regimen [45]. In contrast, in the ACTIVE cognitive training trial, it was higher initial levels of cognitive performance that were related to less decline in cognitive-specific self-efficacy, not the other way around [46]. Nevertheless, when examining cognitive interventions, a sense of control may play a role in its effectiveness [47,48].…”

This brief review on perceived control and aging is organized according to 3 perspectives of research involving description, explanation, and modification. An extensive body of literature has utilized cross-sectional and correlational methods to describe the sociodemographic variations and outcomes associated with perceived control. This work has focused on differences in perceived control as a function of age, sex, education, socioeconomic status, and culture and has identified positive associations with many aging-related outcomes involving health and well-being. With growing evidence regarding the health benefits of perceived control in the context of a declining sense of control with aging, there has been an increased effort to uncover the mechanisms involved, with the hopes of developing methods to maintain and/or promote adaptive control beliefs throughout adulthood. Through longitudinal and experimental work, researchers are beginning to clarify the directionality and elucidate the mechanisms to explain the associations. Recent evidence from longitudinal studies shows that control beliefs have an impact on subsequent changes in health. Yet, the findings suggest that it is not a unidirectional relationship. A conceptual model suggesting an ongoing reciprocal relationship between perceived control and health and well-being is discussed. Research examining the mechanisms that link perceived control to aging-related outcomes can help to inform and to develop effective interventions that are tailored to the individual's specific barriers and goals. We consider new directions for research, including more attention to intraindividual variability and reactivity to daily challenges, such as stress, with the goal of advancing our understanding of how perceived control contributes to aging-related outcomes. More work is needed to develop strategies to enhance control beliefs in later life. Although it will not always be possible to modify control beliefs, researchers can take these beliefs into account when developing interventions. A personalized approach is recommended as a way to tailor interventions that are compatible with individuals' beliefs about control to facilitate adaptive behavior change. Conclusions focus on selected issues and considerations for future research.

“…Contribuindo para discussão da dimensão da autoeficácia em idosos, estudos longitudinais como o de Parisi et al (2017) encontraram redução da autoeficácia intelectual e aumento na preocupação sobre o envelhecimento intelectual ao longo de um período de 10 anos, indicando um fator temporal nesses declínios. Apesar disso, consideraram ser possível que as crenças internas sejam relativamente duradouras e um pouco resistentes à mudança.…”

Autoeficácia é um conceito muito utilizado na discussão do envelhecimento saudável, em função de poder ser considerada um fator protetivo. Esse conceito foi formulado por Bandura ao propor a Teoria Social Cognitiva. Objetivou-se identificar de que forma a autoeficácia tem sido discutida pelas pesquisas em envelhecimento, quais os principais achados acerca desse constructo nos idosos e os instrumentos mais utilizados. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática dos últimos 10 anos nas bases de dados PubMed, Medline Complete e PsycInfo, avaliados por 3 juízes, pesquisadores em nível de pós-graduação independentes do estudo. Os dados foram sistematizados em delineamento da pesquisa, instrumentos de mensuração e resultados dos estudos. Os instrumentos foram sobretudo medidas validadas e variaram entre avaliação da autoeficácia geral e autoeficácia intelectual ou de funcionalidade. Obteve-se a percepção da avaliação da autoeficácia como característica preditora de bem-estar, qualidade de vida e saúde mental. Foram indicadas intervenções que considerem a autoeficácia. Conclui-se que o declínio natural da autoeficácia em função da passagem do tempo e consequente necessidade de novas pesquisas que considerem aspectos específicos do envelhecimento no estudo da autoeficácia de idosos.

“…Indeed, those with lower control beliefs are less likely to use adaptive strategies for cognitive challenges (Lachman & Andreoletti, 2006). Those who have higher control beliefs improve more on cognitive tests with practice and are less likely to show aging-related declines in cognitive functioning (Caplan & Schooler, 2003 (Parisi, Gross, Marsiske, Willis, & Rebok, 2017;Lachman & Leff, 1989). Thus, there is a need to directly address beliefs in cognitive interventions to increase the benefits.…”

The chapter presents recent evidence for factors that contribute to aging-related cognitive declines, including both normal and pathological changes. The focus is on non-modifiable and modifiable risk and protective factors and their independent, multi-modal, and interactive effects on trajectories of cognitive change. Findings from long-term longitudinal studies and broadbased epidemiological investigations, as well as short-term experimental and intervention studies are considered. Moderating factors are reviewed in the context of alternative processes and outcomes, such as cognitive reserve, resilience and exceptionality. The chapter concludes with a discussion of goals to reduce or delay neurodegenerative risk and associated cognitive declines and ultimately to prevent the onset of cognitive impairment and dementia.
