Reports an error in "Gain- but not loss-related self-perceptions of aging predict mortality over a period of 23 years: A multidimensional approach" by Susanne Wurm and Sarah K. Schäfer (, Advanced Online Publication, Feb 24, 2022, np). In the original article, there was an error in the third sentence in the Combined Model Comprising SPA Dimensions and SA section. The corrected sentence should read as: Again, an increase of gain-related SPA by 1 SD was related to a decrease in risk of death by 12%. All versions of this article have been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2022-31793-001). Some 2 decades have passed since Levy et al. (2002) published their seminal study on the impact of self-perceptions of aging (SPA) on mortality over a period of 23 years in this journal; we aimed at replicating and extending these findings against the background of recent discussions in the research on subjective aging. Based on a large German nationwide population-based sample of individuals aged 40 and older ( = 2,400), for whom mortality was also documented over a period of 23 years (1996-2019), the present study is the first to investigate the unique impact of gain- and loss-related SPA and subjective age (SA) as components of subjective aging on mortality. Data were analyzed with hierarchical Cox proportional hazard regressions. The study pointed to the prominent role of gain-related SPA. For individuals who perceived aging as associated with ongoing development risk of death was half that of individuals with less gain-related SPA. Viewing aging as associated with physical or social losses could not predict mortality after controlling for covariates such as age, gender, education, health-related variables, and psychological variables known to predict mortality. Neither could SA predict mortality. When SA and gain- and loss-related SPA were analyzed in a combined model, gain-related SPA remained a significant predictor of mortality. The findings support previous studies on the importance of SPA for mortality. In addition, the results suggest that mainly gain-related SPA (but not loss-related SPA and SA) explain differences in mortality and should thus be addressed in intervention studies.

报告苏珊娜·武尔姆（Susanne Wurm）和莎拉·K·舍费尔（Sarah K. Schäfer）所著的《与衰老相关的积极而非消极自我认知可预测23年期间的死亡率：一种多维度方法》（Advanced Online Publication，2022年2月24日，np）中的一处错误。在原文中，“包含主观年龄感知维度和主观年龄的综合模型”部分的第三句话存在错误。修正后的句子应为：同样，与衰老相关的积极主观年龄感知每增加1个标准差，死亡风险就会降低12%。本文的所有版本均已修正。（以下是原文摘要，记录于2022 - 31793 - 001）。自利维等人（2002年）在本期刊上发表关于衰老自我认知（主观年龄感知）对23年期间死亡率影响的开创性研究以来，大约20年过去了；我们旨在结合近期关于主观衰老研究的讨论，对这些发现进行复制和扩展。基于德国全国范围内一个以40岁及以上个体为基础的大样本（n = 2400），该样本的死亡率在23年期间（1996 - 2019年）也有记录，本研究首次探讨了与衰老相关的积极和消极主观年龄感知以及主观年龄作为主观衰老组成部分对死亡率的独特影响。数据采用分层Cox比例风险回归进行分析。该研究指出了与衰老相关的积极主观年龄感知的突出作用。对于那些将衰老视为与持续发展相关的个体，死亡风险是与衰老相关的积极主观年龄感知较少的个体的一半。在控制了年龄、性别、教育程度、健康相关变量以及已知可预测死亡率的心理变量等协变量后，将衰老视为与身体或社会损失相关并不能预测死亡率。主观年龄也不能预测死亡率。当在一个综合模型中分析主观年龄以及与衰老相关的积极和消极主观年龄感知时，与衰老相关的积极主观年龄感知仍然是死亡率的一个重要预测因素。这些发现支持了先前关于主观年龄感知对死亡率重要性的研究。此外，结果表明主要是与衰老相关的积极主观年龄感知（而非与衰老相关的消极主观年龄感知和主观年龄）解释了死亡率的差异，因此在干预研究中应予以关注。（《心理学文摘数据库记录》（c）2022美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
