Abstract: This paper presents a qualitative case study of a drama-therapy group for older adults at an adult daycare center in Israel. It explores the therapeutic processes in the group in terms of drama therapy and positive aging theory. The group included 12 participants between the ages of 70 and 90, who met for 10 months for 2-hour weekly sessions with a drama therapist (the first author). We used the therapist’s records as data and qualitatively analyzed them. The analysis revealed three main themes: (a) movement arousing memories inherent in the body; (b) the contribution of music to autobiographical memory; (c) transformation and change in the life story through dramatic resonances. These findings shed light on the contribution of drama therapy to support older adults at varied functioning and cognitive levels, and to promote positive aging.

Abstract. Little is known about how people perceive the affective well-being of older and younger adults. In four studies, we compare other- and self-reported trait affect from participants who varied in adult age and familiarity. Our prediction that older adults would be rated by other persons as having poorer well-being than their self-report was not supported. Rather, we found that younger persons were thought by familiar older adults to have better well-being than the young persons reported about themselves; this was not the case for younger familiar raters. Unfamiliar younger adults were rated by younger and older participants as having greater arousal affect than unfamiliar older adults. Misperceptions of well-being may interfere with cross-generation communication and social interactions.

Research on cognitive aging demonstrates age-related cognitive decline. Education is a protective factor against cognitive decline, but few studies have examined the cognitive development of highly educated individuals. This study compared the cognitive performance and intellectual engagement of retired professors (N = 47, Mage = 72.9) and individuals with average education (N = 236, Mage = 72.7) over 5 years. Although the highly educated sample showed better performance in perceptual speed and working memory, cognitive performance was rather stable over time in both samples. Interestingly, high intellectual engagement enabled individuals with average education to keep up with the performance of the highly educated sample on perceptual speed. These findings raise the question whether intellectual engagement is more beneficial than years of education in perceptual speed.

This study explores the relative value of both subjectively reported cognitive speed and gait speed in association with objectively derived cognitive speed. It also explores how these factors are affected by psychological and physical well-being. A group of 90 cognitively healthy older adults (M = 73.38, SD = 8.06 years, range = 60–89 years) were tested in a three-task cognitive battery to determine objective cognitive speed as well as measures of gait speed, well-being, and subjective cognitive speed. Analyses indicated that gait speed was associated with objective cognitive speed to a greater degree than was subjective report, the latter being more closely related to well-being than to objective cognitive speed. These results were largely invariant across the 30-year age range of our older adult sample.
