Abstract

We tested (in 3 studies) whether everyday problem solving ability is sustained in older adulthood and if idiosyncratic strengths would aid feelings of self-efficacy for solving everyday problems among young, middle-aged, and older adults. Idiosyncratically knowledge of one’s strength helps the resolution of everyday problems among adults of all ages.
