    Psychometric properties of the PERMA-Profiler for measuring well-being in Spanish older adults
    (Springer, 2023) Paniagua Granados, Teresa; Luque Reca, Octavio; Fernández Fernández, Virginia; Molina Martínez, Mª Ángeles
    Objectives: PERMA model of well-being proposed by Seligman (2011) includes hedonic and eudaimonic components to assess well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning and Accomplishment. Butler and Kern (2016) have proposed a measuring instrument based on this model which has not yet been validated in the Spanish older adult population. The aim of this study is to explore the psychometric properties of the PERMA-Profiler in a sample of Spanish older adults. Method: 330 elderly people (Mage=70.21; SDage=4.75; 61.5% men) participated at baseline, of whom, 142 were measured at the second wave after 6 months. Results: The five factor structure obtained in the original scale and in other validation studies was replicated. The instrument offered good rates of internal consistency and test- retest reliability as well as good concurrent, predictive and criterion validity. Conclusions: PERMA-Profiler instrument has good psychometric properties to evaluate well-being Spanish older adults. The main limitations of the study are the use of self- reports, the absence of institutionalized participants, the relatively modest sample size or not including a measure of hedonic well-being to explore the scale concurrent validity.

    Emotion regulation processes as mediators of the impact of past life events on older adults’ psychological distress
    (Cambridge University Press, 2020) Losada Baltar, Andrés; Márquez González, María; Paniagua Granados, Teresa; Vara García, Carlos; Luque Reca, Octavio; Fernández Fernández, Virginia
    Objective: Although it is known that certain emotion regulation processes produce a buffering effect on the relationship between life events and well-being, this issue has been poorly studied in the elderly population. Thus, the aim of the present study is to test and confirm a comprehensive model of the impact that past life events have on older adults' psychological distress, exploring the possible mediating roles of emotion regulation processes. These include rumination, experiential avoidance, and personal growth. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 387 people over 60 years old residing in the community were assessed on life events, physical functioning, emotion regulation variables, psychological well-being, as well as symptoms of anxiety and depression. Results: The structural model tested achieved a satisfactory fit to the data, explaining 73% of the variance of older adults' psychological distress. In addition, the main results suggest possible mediation effects of both the physical functioning and the emotional variables: rumination, experiential avoidance, and personal growth in the face of hardship. Conclusions: These findings confirm the importance of emotion regulation processes in the final stages of life. They reveal the various adaptive and maladaptive mechanisms that underlie the relationship between life events and psychological distress. The findings suggest - both in the explanatory models of psychological well-being and in psychotherapeutic interventions - the importance of emotion regulation in the elderly population's health.
