In a research on a group of senior citizens (N = 101, aged 60-87 yrs), the highly loaded items in the Anxiety-Insomnia Subscale of the General Health Questionnaire-28 imply that advancing age is a risk factor for the onset of the so-called minor depressions. In addition, it was found that the symptoms anxiety/insomnia are more highly loaded among senior citizens than in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, thus giving support to the view that there may be considerable discrepancy between real indicators of the quality of life and that experienced by an individual.

Empirical findings go to show that accommodative modes of coping with changes as also of everyday problems in aging are more adaptable and more effective. The aim of this study has been to extend the theoretical construct of accommodative flexibility to conditions of practical geronto-psychology. We verified whether it is possible, with the aid of psycho-educational intervention, to purposively stimulate accommodative flexible attitudes in the elderly when dealing with everyday problems. The study presents the first results from an application of the original intervening program reinforcing the accommodative flexibility in the behavior of the elderly, as designed at the Institute of Experimental Psychology.

A sample of 99 subjects from three age groups took part in a research probe intended to clarify the relationships between life satisfaction, accommodation flexibility and negative affectivity (anxiety). Although a comparison according to age failed to make it evident, a selection of Ss according to whether they are extremely satisfied or extremely dissatisfied with life showed that those satisfied achieve significantly higher scores in accommodation flexibility and statistically lower scores in anxiety measures than Ss extremely dissatisfied with life.
