Abstract: Results demonstrate the role personality constructs, in particular those related to control beliefs and proneness to psychological stress, play in cognitive function in older adults, and support the development of intervention programs. Targeted training has the potential to promote a sense of control over life outcomes and to lower stress in older adults who are at risk for impaired memory function.

“…This association might be stronger in demented subjects but seems to be also present among non-demented individuals ( Jorm et al, 1993 ). Higher neuroticism seems to be associated with poorer episodic memory in community-dwelling individuals ( Jorm et al, 1993 ; Meier et al, 2002 ; Klaming et al, 2016 ) as well as in patients with AD ( Wilson et al, 2004 ). Higher neuroticism has been shown to be linked to an increased risk of incident AD dementia ( Terracciano et al, 2014 ).…”

“…Higher neuroticism has also been reported to be cross-sectionally linked to lower cognitive performance above and beyond the effects of depression (Jorm et al, 1993; Boyle et al, 2010), especially to poorer episodic memory (Jorm et al, 1993; Meier et al, 2002; Klaming et al, 2016). In addition, high neuroticism scores have been found in association with elevated risk of AD (Terracciano et al, 2014).…”

“…For example, Llewellyn and colleagues (2008) demonstrated that among individuals over age 50, those who scored in the highest quintile on the CASP-19 psychological well-being scale scored higher on neuropsychological tests than those who scored in the lowest quintile [ 10 ]. Previous research has also shown positive correlations between episodic memory performance and environmental mastery [ 11 ], purpose in life [ 12 , 13 ], and positive relations with others as characterized by social support and number of social contacts [ 14 , 15 ] in older adults. In addition, greater baseline levels of purpose in life [ 12 ] and increased social engagement later in life [ 16 , 17 ] have both been associated with reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia, a neurodegenerative disease characterized by primary impairment in episodic memory.…”
