The influence of generativity on purpose in life is mediated by social support and moderated by prefrontal functional connectivity in at-risk older adults
Abstract:Objectives: Generativity is the desire and actions to improve the well-being of younger generations. Generativity is associated with purpose in life, with both being shown to independently improve cognition in older adults.
