The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between dimensions of reminiscence and ego integrity in elderly nursing-home residents. Although frequency of reminiscence was not significantly correlated with ego integrity, using reminiscence for the purpose of life review was positively correlated with high ego-integrity scores in this sample of elderly individuals. This significant, positive relationship supports Butler's life-review theory and provides a link between the life review type of reminiscence and the resolution of Erikson's eighth and final developmental stage--a yardstick of successful aging.
本研究的目的是探讨老年疗养院居民回忆的维度与自我整合之间的关系。虽然回忆的频率与自我整合没有显著相关性，但在这个老年样本中，将回忆用于人生回顾的目的与高自我整合得分呈正相关。这种显著的正相关关系支持了巴特勒的人生回顾理论，并在人生回顾类型的回忆与埃里克森第八个也是最后一个发展阶段的解决之间建立了联系——这是成功老龄化的一个衡量标准。
