The concept of social competence covers emotional, cognitive and behavioral abilities in the field of interpersonal communication and behavior patterns to cope with practical problems of life. Under the specific conditions of age, aging, and diseases in one part of the elderly, a loss of psycho-social competence may reduce the ability and quality of independent living. To improve social competence in old patients, an age-adapted assertiveness-training, based on the Assertiveness Training Program was proved in a group of psychogeriatric inpatients in a controlled study. In the self-rated activities of daily living and state-anxiety as well as in observer-rated self-confidence and assertiveness, the training group showed significant improvement compared to the controls.
社会能力的概念涵盖人际沟通领域中的情感、认知和行为能力以及应对生活实际问题的行为模式。在一部分老年人所处的年龄、衰老和疾病等特定条件下，心理社会能力的丧失可能会降低独立生活的能力和质量。为提高老年患者的社会能力，在一项对照研究中，针对一组老年精神科住院患者证明了基于自信训练计划的适合年龄的自信训练的有效性。在自评日常生活活动和状态焦虑以及观察者评定的自信和果断方面，训练组与对照组相比有显著改善。
