“…On the other hand, since these skills included a series of actions for improving the capability of the elderly for establishing communication, contrary to self-esteem whose persistence depended on changes in attitude, they show a lower level of reduction over time, which can indicate the ability of the elderly for learning logo therapy skills taught to them and implementing these skills in their own interpersonal relations. This conclusion is in line with the results of Kalantar Kusheh et al [42], the theory of Gazda [43], and the theory of Nelson Joins [44]. Furthermore, the results indicate that logo therapy can help the elderly to have appropriate reactions when facing undesired life evens.…”

The mechanisms for these associations are not clear, although a study fi nding a positive relationship between marital communication and meaning in life in a small sample of Iranian spouses (Kalantarkousheh & Hassan, 2010) suggests that basic facets of relating to another person, such as understanding and sympathy, may be important.…”
