Aims: This study examined age-related differences between young and older adults' emotion regulation, hope, and optimism 1 year after the COVID-19 outbreak. Whether personality explained such outcomes was also examined.
Method: A sample of 228 young adults and 161 older adults was interviewed in April-May 2021 to complete questionnaires assessing cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES) emotion regulation strategies use, optimism, hope (agency and pathways components), and personality traits.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of strategy-based memory training for older adults over short (5 months) and long (11 months) periods, analyzing the impact of additional booster sessions.
- Thirty-three participants learned various memory strategies, with one group receiving booster training before the first follow-up, showing maintained gains in specific recall tasks and working memory.
- While the training improved certain memory functions up to 11 months later, the booster sessions offered only slight advantages, indicating a need for further research on techniques that yield longer-lasting benefits.
This study newly investigated the joint contribution of metamemory and personality (traits and facets) in explaining episodic memory (EM) performance in typically aging older adults. Forty-eight participants (age range: 64-75 years) completed a self-paced word list (SPWL) recall task, a metamemory questionnaire assessing perceived control and potential improvement (PCPI) and self-efficacy and satisfaction (SESA) regarding one's mental abilities (e.g.

Tendinopathy results from the imbalance between these two groups of factors, leading to degeneration, weakening, and fissuring of the tendons, with the presence of local pain. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of cetylated fatty acids (CFA) patch formulation in the control of acute localized shoulder pain and recovery of function in patients with tendinopathies.
