Age Differences in Coping: Does Less Mean Worse?

Meeks, Suzanne; And Others

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v28 n2 p127-40 1989

Conducted three studies of coping in older people, two addressing coping with health problems, the other coping with moving. Results in all studies showed the number of coping strategies decreased with age. However, results did not support the idea that decreases in the number of strategies implied decrements in the quality of coping. (Author/ABL)
