Abstract:
The extent to which early-life cognitive ability shapes individuals' social functioning throughout life, in the context of later-life factors, is unknown. We investigated performance on the Faux Pas test (FP) in relation to psychosocial characteristics and childhood intelligence scores in 90 healthy older men. FP performance was associated with close social network size but not social contact, social support, or loneliness when accounting for both childhood and later-life intelligence, affect, personality, and sociodemography. We add to a growing literature on associations between theory of mind and intelligence, affect, and personality. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).
