ABSTRACT

The current study investigated whether memory self-efficacy and beliefs about the controllability of memory abilities relate to older adults’ perceptions of the difficulty and effectiveness of various strategies for improving their everyday memory. One hundred and fifteen older adults (ages 65–89) completed the Personal Beliefs about Memory Instrument to evaluate their beliefs about their own memory abilities and the Memory Strategies Questionnaire to assess perceptions of the difficulty and effectiveness of utilizing six different strategic approaches for optimizing memory function. Results showed that memory-self efficacy related to older adults’ perceptions of how difficult various memory strategies are to implement, whereas control beliefs related to perceptions of memory strategy effectiveness. These results advance our understanding of how memory beliefs influence older adults’ selection of approaches to improve their everyday memory abilities.

老年人的记忆信念预测记忆策略难度和有效性的看法

摘要

目前的研究调查了记忆自我效能感和对记忆能力可控性的信念是否与老年人对改善日常记忆的各种策略的难度和有效性的看法有关。115 名老年人(65-89 岁)完成了关于记忆仪器的个人信念,以评估他们对自己记忆能力的信念,并完成了记忆策略问卷,以评估对利用六种不同战略方法优化记忆的难度和有效性的看法功能。结果表明,记忆自我效能与老年人对各种记忆策略实施难度的看法有关,而控制信念与记忆策略有效性的看法有关。
