Internet Use as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Personal Resources and Stress in Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Internet use has dramatically increased worldwide, with over two-thirds of the world's population using it, including the older adult population. Technical resources such as internet use have been shown to influence psychological processes such as stress positively. Following the Conservation of Resources theory by Hobfoll, stress experience largely depends on individuals' personal resources and the changes in these resources.

Multimorbidity and Quality of Life: The Mediating Role of ADL, IADL, Loneliness, and Depressive Symptoms.

Background And Objectives: The ubiquity of multimorbidity makes it crucial to examine the intermediary factors linking it with quality of life (QoL). The objective was to examine to what extent the association between multimorbidity and QoL was mediated by functional and emotional/mental health and how these mediation pathways differed by sociodemographic factors (age, gender, education, and financial strain).

Research Design And Methods: Data from Waves 4 to 8 of 36,908 individuals from the Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) were included.

Loneliness during COVID-19: Development and influencing factors.

In early pandemic waves, when vaccination against COVID-19 was not yet an option, distancing and reduced social contact were the most effective measures to slow down the pandemic. Changes in frequency and forms of social contact have reduced the spread of the COVID-19 virus and thus saved lives, yet there is increasing evidence for negative side effects such as mental health issues. In the present study, we investigate the development of loneliness and its predictors to examine the role of changes in social networks due to social distancing and other COVID-19-related life changes.

Alzheimer's disease disrupts domain-specific and domain-general processes in numerosity estimation.
