Subjective age is related to health and to life satisfaction, and adaptation to stressful life events is associated with self-efficacy beliefs and coping. The present study on cancer survivors addressed two objectives: the relationship between felt age and perceived disability and satisfaction with recovery, and the feeding back of felt age on general self-efficacy beliefs and coping strategies. Data were collected one and six months after surgery. Individuals with younger age identities reported lower levels of perceived disability and avoidance-oriented coping and higher levels of satisfaction with recovery, self-efficacy and meaning-focused coping than individuals with older age identities. Individuals with decreased or stable felt age indicated increased meaning-focused coping or avoidance-oriented coping, respectively. Explanations for these associations are discussed.
主观年龄与健康及生活满意度相关，而对压力性生活事件的适应与自我效能信念及应对方式有关。本项针对癌症幸存者的研究有两个目标：感知年龄与感知到的残疾及康复满意度之间的关系，以及感知年龄对一般自我效能信念和应对策略的反馈。在术后1个月和6个月收集数据。与具有老年身份认同的个体相比，具有年轻身份认同的个体报告的感知残疾水平和回避导向应对方式较低，而康复满意度、自我效能和意义导向应对方式较高。感知年龄降低或稳定的个体分别表明意义导向应对方式增加或回避导向应对方式增加。对这些关联进行了讨论。
