The relationship of the level of aspiration disparity score to life satisfaction and locus of control in two groups of aged individuals, the young-old (ages 60 to 69) and the old-old (ages 70-79) was studied. Female volunteers (N = 100) between the ages of 60 and 79, who were living in the community and were relatively well functioning, were administered The Rotter Level of Aspiration Test, The Life Satisfaction Index A, The Philadelphia Geriatric Morale Scale, The Internal-External Scale, and The Health Locus of Control Scale. Partial support was found for the hypothesis that a positive disparity score is associated with increased life satisfaction and a more internal locus of control.
研究了两组老年人，即年轻老人（60至69岁）和高龄老人（70至79岁）的抱负差距得分水平与生活满意度及控制点之间的关系。选取了年龄在60至79岁之间、居住在社区且功能相对良好的女性志愿者（N = 100），对她们进行了罗特抱负水平测试、生活满意度指数A、费城老年士气量表、内外控量表以及健康控制点量表的测评。研究结果部分支持了以下假设：积极的差距得分与更高的生活满意度以及更内在的控制点相关。
