This study found older women reported better memory and used more coping strategies than men, influencing their mental health. Perceived health status significantly impacted depression and memory anxiety predictions in the elderly.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Gerontology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Memory perception is crucial for elderly well-being.
  • Understanding gender differences in cognitive and emotional health is vital for aging populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine gender differences in memory control, coping, health, and metamemory among older adults.
  • To explore how these factors influence anxiety and depression in the elderly.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of data from a large study.
  • Participants: 128 females and 41 males, aged 55+.
  • Statistical analysis including regression models.

Main Results:

  • Females were older, reported better memory, and had higher state anxiety than males.

  • No significant gender differences in depression, health, or memory control.
  • Females utilized more help-seeking, existential growth, religiosity, and total coping strategies.
  • Study variables predicted 79% of depression variance and 15% of memory anxiety variance.
  • Perceived health status substantially altered predictive values in regression models.

    • Conclusions:

    • Gender influences certain aspects of memory perception, coping, and anxiety in older adults.
    • Health status is a key factor in predicting depression and memory anxiety.
    • Interventions should consider gender-specific strategies and the role of perceived health in elderly mental well-being.
