Contributions of Psychosocial Factors and Physical Activity to Successful Aging
AbstractThe aim of this study was twofold: (a) To validate a successful aging model in a Spanish older adult’s sample, and (b) to predict successful aging from psychosocial factors and physical activity. Participants were 725 Spanish older people, of whom 478 were women and 247 men, aged between 55 and 100 years. Of these, 501 were physically active and 197 persons did not practice physical activity. The sample was collected in three areas: Sport centers, day centers and public areas of several Spanish towns. Factorial validity of the Successful Aging Inventory was studied by confirmatory factor analysis, and four multiple regressions to predict each of the dimensions of successful aging (f…
Envejecimiento y espiritualidad: estructura factorial y fiabilidad de dos escalas
Resumen Introduccion En el area de la gerontologia, el estudio de la mejora de la salud y calidad de vida —como envejecer «con exito»—, la espiritualidad juega un papel clave y constituye uno de los topicos de la investigacion actual. Sin embargo, su incorporacion en la literatura cientifica esta resultando ardua y lenta, hecho en parte debido a la ausencia de medidas desarrolladas y validadas especialmente para su uso en el ambito hispanohablante. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo ofrecer evidencia de las propiedades psicometricas de dos instrumentos de medida de la espiritualidad: la Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Spiritual Well-Being (FACIT-Sp) y el Cuestionario Grupo de…
Motives to practice exercise in old age and successful aging: A latent class analysis.
Abstract Purpose The aim was to classify motives for exercising trying to find sets of related cases that share common motivations, and to relate these latent classes to markers of successful aging. Methods 725 old adult aged 55 to 97 years were sampled in several Spanish towns. Instruments: Successful Aging Inventory (SAI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Health Survey SF-8, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and motives to practice exercise, were used. Latent Class Analyses (LCAs) were estimated. The classes obtained were compared on markers of successful aging. Results Three latent classes were deemed optimal. Significant differences for several markers of success…
Influencia del clima motivacional en educación física sobre las metas de logro y la satisfacción con la vida de los adolescentes (Influence of motivational climate in physical education on achievement goals and adolescents’ life satisfaction)
En el marco de la Teoría de las Metas de Logro y haciendo alusión a la Teoría de la Autodeterminación, el objetivo principal de este trabajo ha consistido en predecir la satisfacción con la vida de los alumnos de educación física (EF) a partir de la percepción del clima motivacional de la clase y actuando como mediadora la orientación de metas de logro. Para cumplir este objetivo, 608 alumnos españoles de Educación Secundaria y 1º de Bachillerato, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 17 años (M = 14.51, DT = 1.46; 55.3% hombres y 44.7% mujeres) completaron una escala de clima motivacional en EF, una escala de orientación de metas de logro 2 x 2, y una escala de satisfacción con la vid…
