The authoress examines the subject of autonomous learning during late adulthood. Referring to the book by Knud Illeris 'Three Dimensions of Learning' and to her own research and didactic experiences, she asks questions about capabilities to learn autonomously during successive stages in the life of an adult, where education, being generally a combination of necessity and capability, is often undertaken as a compromise between one's desires and one's life needs as well as between one's desires and social expectations. The authoress takes particular interest in the period of late adulthood that stretches from the turning point in one's life to the point when one's life comes to an end. According to Knud Illeris it is during this period that an individual is being gradually liberated from the social determinants of learning. In order to explain what this turning point in life may be she refers to the concept of biographical experiencing of floating, proposed by Agnieszka Bron (2006, 2009). The authoress also presents her students' reflections on being autonomous while learning, expressed after the meetings with the members of the University of the Third Age in Zielona Góra. Furthermore, she defines the scope of discourse conducted with the students within the frames of andragogy classes, which was inspired by the questions about autonomy and freedom of learning. In the end, the authoress refers to her own biographical research, which were conducted among part-time students from the borderland region and often focused heavily on education as seen from the point of view of obligation and life necessity.

Observed demographic changes mean that we are becoming a ‘greying society.’ This makes it necessary to introduce new curriculum content in the vocational training of speech therapists and creates a need for specialists in the area of therapy and functional assistance of seniors. At the same time, this indicates the need for conducting extensive studies in the field of gerontological linguistics, concerning the particularities of speech related to age as well as the specific features of communication with the elderly. In this speech the authors would like to discuss one of the directions of research on language phenomena related to old age, i.e. research on the particular manner of communication of those in the senior’s close environment (family, doctors, therapists, among others) with the senior. The style of communication with a person of senior age, being a result of social stereotypes of elderly people, may increase their discomfort and indicate paternalistic and condescending treatment of those in the highest age group. This may even be a sign of ageism, i.e. social discrimination based on people’s age.

According to the principles of life-span psychology, development is a lifetime process that lasts from birth to death. It is multi-dimensional in nature and encompasses both progressive and regressive change. The paper focuses on developmental changes typical of the last period of life, and investigates limitations and barriers impeding personal development in the elderly. Personality traits that may prevent positive adaptation to the old age are indicated, together with the opportunities for development in late adulthood and the factors conducive to positive ageing.

Purpose: This paper attempts to examine the concept of successful ageing (SA) from the perspectives of older adults. Methods: Data were gathered from 224 persons. The research used a categorized interview and a test as methods of data collection. In order to select the types of subjective definitions of SA, the method of cluster analysis was applied. Results: 5 types of definitions were distinguished: 1) Around 40% of older adults consider the biomedical model to be in line with their idea of good old age, but they also add new components that they consider more important. These are: Living in an environment of loving persons (Type 1 definitions), and Religiousness, Generativity, Relationships with others based on love (Type 4). 2) About 40% of the respondents’ present one-dimensional definitions, with one of the following factors: Family (Type 2), and Religiousness (Type 3). 3) Lack of a precise definition is more often demonstrated in people with low life satisfaction who have been experiencing difficult life situations in recent times. Conclusions: Understanding of SA depends on life satisfaction and the context related to the life situation. Three key words are essential for the definitions: family, activity, religion.

The basic assumption is that time, which regulates our existence in the world, is the special medium and that there are “costs (lost opportunities) associated with not investing time wisely” (Zimbardo, & Boyd, 2009, p. 19). The diverse attitudes of certain individuals towards time may be viewed from various perspectives. The author reflects on the time phenomenon from the perspective of learning adults, with regard to three life periods in the process indentified in andragogy as maturing to adulthood. In early adulthood time is especially significant as people assume the role of the ones responsible for their professional development and their family. In the second stage – middle adulthood – due to varying evaluations of their achievements, time is treated either as a friend or as an enemy. In this situation undertaking learning activity becomes a springboard, some kind of antidote to the emerging life problems. It may also bring about fundamental disturbances to the psycho-social balance of an adult person, such as change of his living environment. The value of time as a non-renewable good increases significantly in late adulthood, after crossing the threshold of 60. This refers particularly to people who consider old age as an important stage of life. Thus, temporal perspective in each stage of adulthood varies, especially when learning is a regular part of life activities of an adult person

The current population of widows and widowers in Poland is over 3.1 mln, whereof the vast majority is over 60 years old. Death of long-life partner is one of the most stressful events in an individual’s life and it may affect their physical and mental condition. At the same time acceptance of spouse’s death and successful adaptation to widowhood are the developmental tasks of late adulthood phase, which may provide to personal growth. A widowed person can decide if they desire to engage new romantic relationship. Research shows that starting a new relationship is motivated by various factors: psychological (e.g. spouse idealization, anxiety), biological (e.g. age, health), and external factors (e.g. socioeconomic situation). New late-life romantic relationships differ from previous stages of life – we can observe changes in: relationship goals, dynamic of the relationship and together activities, although seniors experience passionate love the same way that younger generations do.

The research participants were people aged 60-79. The research shows that higher employment status contributes to their psychological well-being, primarily to positive interaction with others and their ability to master the environment. The research has proved that higher education and confidence in financial well-being of employed people reduces the intensity of asthenic emotions, while in those unemployed it increases the intensity of asthenic emotions. The employed are more self-confident, their self-confidence contributes to their psychological well-being. Self-confidence of the unemployed people while enhancing psychological well-being at the same time increases sthenic emotions. It is shown that reticence as self-attitude modality plays a greater role in the personality structure of the elderly people who are unemployed. The conclusions are made on weak and strong points of employment in late adulthood

Although marital satisfaction is intensively explored in the psychological literature at present, there are few papers strictly focused on spouse fit in late adulthood. The aim of the present study was to determine whether spouses’ personality fit and values fit are associated with marital satisfaction. To test this, we examined 60 Polish married couples (120 participants) aged 60-75. We used the following measures: NEO-PI-R (as adapted by J. Siuta), Scheler Values Scale (P. Brzozowski), and the Well-Matched Marriage Questionnaire (Plopa & Rostowski). Due to the nonindependence of dyads, data was analyzed in the single-level paradigm, and the level of fit was estimated by Gower Agreement Index (J. C. Gower). The results yielded by SEM path analysis indicate that spouses’ personality fit is associated with the satisfaction of both spouses, while spouses’ values fit, under-stood objectively in accordance with Scheler’s theory, is not related to their satisfaction. The findings may be useful in psychological practice such as marriage counselling and marital therapy.

Kornelia Czerwińska, Izabella Kucharczyk, Senior citizens losing vision as a challenge to contemporary special education. Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, no. 25, Poznań 2019. Pp. 333-351. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2019.25.14 Acquiring blindness or low vision at the senior age usually results in decreased quality of life due to a decrease in functional performance in the areas of activities of everyday activities, spatial orientation and mobility, physical activity, spending free time and obtaining information. Loss of vision also implies serious emotional consequences, which in the absence of professional therapeutic help and social support can lead to mental health disorders. Research analyses indicate that the level of satisfying rehabilitation needs of seniors who are losing vision is relatively low, and the specificity of their functioning resulting from the coexistence of various health problems is rarely included in support programs. The aim of the article is to indicate areas that have been so far neglected in the rehabilitation of elderly people who have acquired visual impairment and to formulate proposals aimed at increasing the availability and quality of therapeutic services for this social group.

The article presents the relationship between temporal perspective and wisdom transmission of the people in late adulthood to the younger generation. The participants were asked to write a short “Letter to a grandchild”. The letters written by 119 participants aged over 60 years old were analyzed qualititavely in terms of content and form, using categories from previous studies (Dryll, Tokarska, Cierpka, 2016). In order to assess temporal perspective the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) by Philip G. Zimbardo and John Boyd was used (adaptation by Aneta Przepiórka, Małgorzata Sobol-Kwapińska and Tomasz Jankowski, 2016). A number of dependencies between transmission characteristics and temporal perspective scales was observed. The results follow a characteristic pattern where instead of the focus on timing (past, present, and future), an attitude (positive or negative) seems to be more important. The results do not support the concept of a balanced temporal perspective, which can be explained by cultural differences as well as developmental characteristics of the participants.

This article is an image of old age issues presented by adolescents and people in late adulthood. The definition of image of old age is based on existing in today's society negative stereotypes. The study involved a representative sample of 385 people, including 179 adolescents and 206 seniors. It has been shown tendencies to a more negative, stereotypical perception of old age by adolescents. They pointed to more frequent and more satisfying growing up with grandparents contact /grandmothers as a factor shaping a more positive image of old age. In the group of seniors a more positive image of old age was associated with: female gender, a better education and health, the average economic conditions as well as involvement in organized forms of activity. The presented studies have educational and prophylactic value.

The aim of the research is to investigate the correlation between age and playing styles in an authorial role-playing game. In the designed research the authors have assumed the playing styles defined by Richard Bartle, that is: the socializer, the killer, the achiever, the explorer. The research subjects came from three age groups: university students (18-25), corporate workers (35-50) and seniors (65+). The research was conducted with the use of the quantitative method on the basis of the playing styles observation sheet developed in accordance with the operationalization of Bartle’s taxonomy. Throughout the conducted observations one could observe clear behaviours, adequate with the operationalized taxonomy of Bartle. The dominant type in every age group was the socialiser, on the other hand only a few behaviours were associated with the killer type. In every age category there was a specific pattern of the observed behaviours, which are possible to explain by comparison to the everyday activities of the investigated age groups. Knowledge about the correlation between age and playing style could be useful for game creators and educators, who want to use the game as an educational method.

Nowadays, in Poland 6 generations of people co-exist. It is the generation Y that occupies the greatest amount of analysis in the context of the information society development, the generation Y constituting presently 21% of the inhabitants of Poland. The other generations are much less frequently mentioned; for instance, generation X and baby boomers are considered to a lesser degree despite the fact that they have the bigger share in the Polish society than the generation Y. It is worth noting that it is the job market in terms of which the description of how the respective generations function is provided. What is missing though are the considerations pertaining to, for instance, the opinions on information safety or the threats related to computer crime or the changes in the manner the family functions. This paper is an attempt to present the opinions of 50+ age group in the context of the dangers emanating from the information society development and from the extensive use of ICT in one’s personal and family life.

PL

Współcześnie w Polsce funkcjonuje obok siebie, ale i żyje wspólnie ze sobą sześć pokoleń. Najwięcej miejsca w analizach w kontekście rozwoju społeczeństwa informacyjnego zajmuje pokolenie Y, które stanowi obecnie 21% mieszkańców Polski. Znacznie rzadziej wspomina się o innych generacjach, np. o pokoleniu X czy też baby boomer’s, mimo że mają większy udział ilościowy w społeczeństwie polskim niż „igreki”. Główną płaszczyzną opisu funkcjonowania pokoleń w dostępnej literaturze jest rynek pracy. Brakuje natomiast rozważań dotyczących np. poglądów na temat bezpieczeństwa informacyjnego czy też zagrożeń związanych z przestępczością komputerową lub zmian w funkcjonowaniu rodziny. W skład generacji 50+ wchodzą: pokolenie baby boomer’s oraz osoby urodzone przed lub w czasie drugiej wojny światowej. Ramy chronologiczne tej grupy można określić następująco: urodzeni do 1964 roku. Z pewnością generacja 50+ to cyfrowi imigranci, gdyż zdobywali doświadczenia w świecie rzeczywistym. Jednak przynależność do grupy cyfrowych imigrantów nie musi zawsze prowadzić do cyfrowego wykluczenia. To proces skomplikowany i jego przebieg jest uzależniony od wielu czynników. Należą do nich m.in.: płeć, wiek, poziom wykształcenia. Obraz pokolenia 50+ w kontekście cyfrowych umiejętności i kompetencji nie jest jednorodny, szczegółów dostarczają badania Eurostatu, CBOS-u czy też Diagnozy społecznej. Prezentowane w artykule wyniki badań zostały przeprowadzone w 2015 r., głównym celem prowadzonych badań było zdiagnozowanie poglądów osób w wieku 16–74 lata na temat zagrożeń w społeczeństwie informacyjnym. W trakcie badań zebrano 2298 ankiet, z czego do dalszego opracowania zakwalifikowano 2111. Zagrożenia te rozpatrywano na pięciu płaszczyznach: życia osobistego i rodzinnego, pracy zawodowej, ochrony zdrowia, edukacji i wiedzy, bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego. Respondenci określali poziom zagrożenia odczuwanego przez siebie oraz dla społeczeństwa. Ankietowani w obszarze zagrożeń życia osobistego mieli do wyboru jedenaście możliwości i mogli wybrać do trzech zagrożeń. W grupie ankietowanych 50+ najczęściej respondenci wskazywali nowe typy uzależnień, na drugim miejscu ulokowano osłabienie więzi międzyludzkich, a na trzecim osłabienie więzi rodzinnych i zanik rodzin wielopokoleniowych. Wśród ankietowanych 11,6% nie miało zdania. Szczegółowa analiza statystyczna pozyskanych danych w grupie 50+ wykazała, że czynnikami wpływającymi na poglądy respondentów są: płeć, stan zatrudnienia, częstotliwość korzystania z sieci, a także ocena własnych umiejętności. Problem zagrożeń jednostki wynikających z rozwoju społeczeństwa informacyjnego w opisywanych badaniach ujęto także z perspektywy ilościowej. Respondenci określali poziom zagrożenia jednostki w określonym obszarze w skali od 0 do 5. Wyznaczali je z dwóch perspektyw: w stosunku do innych osób oraz w stosunku do siebie, jego wartości wynosiły odpowiednio 2,90 oraz 2,63, co wskazuje na wartości średnie. Znaczący jest fakt, że blisko 40% w grupie 50+ zadeklarowało zetknięcie się z problematyką zagrożeń jednostki w społeczeństwie informacyjnym. Badania wykazały także, że większość respondentów jest przekonana o tym, iż potrzebne są inicjatywy mające na celu uświadomieniu jednostkom zagrożeń wynikających z rozwoju społeczeństwa informacyjnego. Ankiety pokazały, że respondenci z grupy 50+ odczuwają zagrożenia dla jednostki wynikające z rozwoju społeczeństwa informacyjnego, wrażliwość na te kwestie jest nieco silniejsza u kobiet. One częściej postrzegają ją przez pryzmat relacji międzyludzkich. Mężczyźni raczej patrzą na ten problem poprzez optykę technologiczną.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu było ukazanie roli mądrości w wyjaśnianiu stosowania strategii radzenia sobie z codziennymi stresującymi wydarzeniami życiowymi u osób w późnej dorosłości. Zgodnie z badaniami Ardelt, mądrość, rozumiana jako złożenie komponentu poznawczego, refleksyjnego i emocjonalnego, może być zasobem uzdalniającym osoby dorosłe do proaktywnego radzenia sobie.Badaniu poddano grupę 86 osób w późnej dorosłości. Posłużono się następującymi metodami badawczymi: Trzywymiarową Skalą Mądrości Życiowej (Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale: 3D-WS) autorstwa Ardelt, w adaptacji Steuden, Brudka i Izdebskiego, oraz Kwestionariuszem Reakcji na Codzienne Wydarzenia (The Proactive Coping Inventory – Polish Adaptation: PCI) Sęk, Pasikowskiego, Tauberta, Greenglass i Schwarzera.Wyniki przeprowadzonego badania potwierdzają wyjaśniającą rolę mądrości dla preferencji podejmowanych strategii zaradczych w późnej dorosłości. Mądrość w wymiarze afektywnym okazała się predyktorem proaktywnego, refleksyjnego i prewencyjnego radzenia sobie oraz strategicznego planowania. Wymiar afektywny wyjaśniał zmienność stosowania strategii poszukiwania wsparcia instrumentalnego i emocjonalnego

EN

The purpose of this article was to demonstrate the role of wisdom in explaining the preference of coping strategies to deal with daily stressful life events in late adulthood. According to Ardelt's research, wisdom, understood as a composite of cognitive, relfective, and afective (compassionate) components, may be a resource that empowers adults to cope proactively. A group of 86 individuals in late adulthood was studied. The following research methods were used: Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (3D-WS) by Ardelt, adapted by Steuden, Brudek and Izdebski and The Proactive Coping Inventory (Polish Adaptation: PCI) by Sęk, Pasikowski, Taubert, Greenglass and Schwarzer. The results of the study confirm the explanatory role of wisdom for the preference of coping strategies in late adulthood. Wisdom in the afective dimension proved to be a predictor of proactive, reflective, and preventive coping and strategic planning. The afective dimension explained variability in the use of instrumental and emotional sup port-seeking strategies.

The paper tackles the archetypes of the wise old man and the wise old woman in classical tragedies and contemporary plays. The following modifications of the archetype are detected in the dramas by Naomi Wallace: the elderly characters are either protagonists (One Flea Spare) or catalysts (Slaughter-City) of the action; the ageist stereotypes are subverted; the “life-review” concept is productively implemented in both plays. The author of the paper analyzes gerontological portrayals of the dramatis persona and their choice of the strategies of aging.

Zmiany o charakterze inwolucyjnym są normatywnym skutkiem starzenia się organizmu. Przejawiają się przekształceniami w budowie tkanek i narządów. Zachodząca wraz z wiekiem reorganizacja ogólnoustrojowa przekłada się na funkcje (zmianę aktywności hormonalnej i ilości neurotransmiterów) i strukturę (stopniowy ubytek masy mózgowia) ośrodkowego układu nerwowego. Wykładnikami zmian neurobiologicznych jednostki są jej możliwości kognitywne, które współcześnie rozpatruje się jako wskaźnik potencjału i plastyczności mózgu. Jako teoretyczną podstawę opisu przyjęto model selektywnej optymalizacji i kompensacji oraz koncepcję regulacyjno-adaptacyjną, zgodnie z którymi zmiany zachodzące w okresie senioralnym wynikają z naturalnych przeobrażeń i można je uznać za miarę możliwości przystosowawczych jednostki. Artykuł stanowi propozycję spojrzenia na okres późnej dorosłości z perspektywy posiadanych zasobów, co w wymiarze praktycznym implikuje do prowadzenia działań edukacyjnych i usprawniających, podnoszących jakość życia seniorów.

EN

Involution changes are normative consequences of ageing of the organism. They are observed through transformations in the structure of tissues and organs. As age increases, the systemic reorganisation affects the functions (changes in hormonal activity and the number of neurotransmitters) and the structure (gradual brain shrinking) of the central nervous system (CNS). Neurobiological changes are visible in one’s cognitive capabilities, which are nowadays seen as the index of a brain’s potential and plasticity. As a theoretical basis, the model of selective optimisation with compensation and the adaptive-regulatory theory are used. According to them, changes in the elderly age result from natural processes and can be considered as the measures of individual adaptive capability. Taking into consideration the resources possessed in the late adulthood, this article presents a particular point of view on such a topic. Practically speaking, it implies the need to conduct educational and rationalising actions that will improve the living standard of elderly people.

Zachodzące procesy demograficzne skłaniają do analiz stylu życia i jego uwarunkowań wśród osób w wieku późnej dorosłości. W sferze aktywności zdrowotnej seniorów istnieje potrzeba wnikliwej diagnozy – zarówno dla celów opisu, wyjaśniania, jak i przede wszystkim tworzenia programów modyfikacji i promocji zdrowia. W artykule dokonano analizy specyfiki zachowań zdrowotnych osób w wieku senioralnym. Zaprezentowano podstawy teoretyczne i opis Kwestionariusza Zachowań Zdrowotnych dla Seniorów. Narzędzie służy do pomiaru zachowań zdrowotnych osób starszych (od 60 roku życia). Eksploracyjna i konfirmacyjna analiza czynnikowa ujawniła 5-czynnikową strukturę kwestionariusza. Składa się on z 24 pozycji i pozwala na obliczenie ogólnego wskaźnika zachowań zdrowotnych oraz kategorii zachowań, takich jak pozytywne nastawienie do życia, zachowania związane ze zdrowiem fizycznym, dbałość o kondycję umysłową, zachowania związane z profilaktyką i leczeniem oraz zachowania ekologiczne. Im wyższy wynik, tym wyższy poziom zachowań korzystnych dla zdrowia. Ogółem w badaniach mających na celu ustalenie właściwości psychometrycznych Kwestionariusza Zachowań Zdrowotnych dla Seniorów (KZZ-S) uczestniczyły 522 osoby o zróżnicowanej aktywności i sytuacji życiowej. Narzędzie uzyskało satysfakcjonujące właściwości psychometryczne (α Cronbacha = 0,87 dla całego testu, zaś dla podskal od 0,63 do 0,79; stabilność bezwzględna, ustalona za pomocą testu-retestu, wynosiła 0,88). Uzyskane dane pozwalają uznać Kwestionariusz Zachowań Zdrowotnych dla Seniorów za rzetelne i trafne narzędzie pomiaru.

The current demographic processes invite an analysis of the lifestyle of people in late adulthood and its determinants. A thorough diagnosis of senior health is also needed, not only for the purposes of description and explanation, but also – above all – for the creation of health programs. The present study analyses the specificity of health behavior of people of senior age. It describes the Health-Related Behavior Questionnaire for Seniors (KZZ-S), a tool used to measure the health behaviors of seniors (i.e., people aged 60 and above), and presents its theoretical basis. The questionnaire has a five-factor structure, as revealed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. It consists of 24 items and allows the calculation of the overall rate of such health behaviors and behavioral categories as positive attitude to life, behavior related to physical health, attention to mental condition, behavior associated with prevention and treatment, and environmental behavior. A higher score indicates a higher level of behavior beneficial to health. In total, the participants in the study were 522 people diverse in terms of activity and life situation, and the aim was to determine the psychometric properties of the KZZ-S. The KZZ-S is a reliable and valid measure with satisfactory psychometric properties (Cronbach’s α was .87 for the whole test and ranged from .63 to .79 for its subscales; absolute stability determined by test-retest was .88).
