Description
Oliver Schilling, Bjorn Slaug, and colleagues frame a symposium from 2024 on how older adults’ views of their surroundings shape aging well. In late life, losses of money, health, and roles can leave people more exposed to harsh settings. Yet many older adults cope well, which hints that how a setting feels may matter more than the setting itself.
The session gathers studies on very old adults that test that idea. One study in the set links shifts in low mood and views of aging to life satisfaction and disability rated by others. Across the talks, attitudes toward aging and toward one’s place seem to carry much of the effect of context on well-being. The frame helps explain why the same setting can wear one person down and spare another.
