The goal of the study is to present the results of the research aimed at the processes of ageing in context of selected psychosocial factors, in particular self-control, self-care and attitude to ageing as possible factors having an influence on processes of the preparation and adaption for ageing. The study follows the earlier published summarizing theoretical study (Ráczová, 2012). The sample was composed of 119 respondents (46 man and 73 women) of age between 65 and 75 years (average age of 70 years, &delta = 3.91). The following three methodologies were used in the study: RAQ (Gething, 1994, Scale marking down attitudes to ageing processes), Self Control Scale - SCS (Tangney, Baumeister, Boone, 2004) and self- care Questionnaire (Lovaš, 2010). In the analysis there were used descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and ANOVA analysis. The results point out the existence of positive relation between attitudes to ageing, self-control and self-care among seniors. The results indicate that the respondents with positive attitude show higher degree of self-control as well as of self-care compared to seniors with negative attitude to ageing. Gender differences were proved only in attitudes to ageing, where men show more positive attitude. Significant differences in self-care were proved as well, what was due to different family status of seniors (both men and women), whereas divorced seniors have higher degree of care of myself compared to the married ones.
