Objective control, subjective control, and well-being among older adults.
Mossbarger, Bradley Lawrence.

Objective control, subjective control, and well-being among older adults. - 141 p.

Director: Jean Drevenstedt.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Ohio University, 1996.

Past research has established subjective measures of control as predictors of self-reported well-being. The present study assesses the impact of two subjective measures of control, perceived control (PC) and desired control (DC), as well as the difference between them (control Disparity) on well-being in two groups of older adults living under different levels of actual control (AC).

520 $a Past research has established subjective measures of control as predictors of self-reported well-being. The present study assesses the impact of two subjective measures of control, perceived control (PC) and desired control (DC), as well as the difference between them (control Disparity) on well-being in two groups of older adults living under different levels of actual control (AC).
520 $a Residents (ages 62-100) of assisted living facilities completed questionnaires tapping PC, DC, self-esteem, demographic variables, and four well-being measures: the Life Satisfaction Index A (LSI-A), the Affect Balance Scale (ABS), the positive affect index of the ABS (ABS-Pos), and the negative affect index of the ABS (ABS-Neg). Actual control (AC) was operationalized as staff ratings of subjects' degree of independence in performing various daily activities.
520 $a No significant differences were found in degree of PC or DC reported by subjects in High AC (n = 46) versus Low AC (n = 39) conditions. PC, DC, self-esteem, and subjective health ratings were entered into regression equations for the prediction of the four outcome variables. For the High AC group, PC, along with health ratings and self-esteem, was a significant predictor of LSI-A scores; PC and self-esteem were predictors of ABS; and self-esteem was the only predictor of ABS-Neg. For the Low AC group, no variables entered the predictive equation for LSI-A, but PC emerged as a significant predictor of overall ABS, ABS-Pos (along with health ratings), and ABS-Neg. Disparity was then added to the equations to assess for hypothesized unique effects of this construct. The Disparity variable did not significantly predict any of the outcome measures for the High AC group. Although Disparity, along with DC and PC, did emerge as a significant predictor of LSI-A scores for the Low AC group, these three variables exhibited a relationship with one another that obscured their unique effects in predicting well-being. Implications of these findings are discussed, limitations of the study are acknowledged, and indications for further research in this area are offered.
