Building Resilience in Individuals with Disabilities: The Role of Self-Perceptions of Aging and Perceived Stress

Poster Session VIII

Keyword: Aging

Abstract: A regression analysis of 358 participants with disabilities revealed that more positive self-perceptions of aging are associated with higher resilience, while higher perceived stress is associated with lower resilience. Adding age improves the model. These variables explain 47.4% of the variance in resilience, with all effects being significant (p< 0.001).
