Awareness of Age-Related Change¶
Short Description: Based on the 10-item “Awareness of Age-Related Change” (AARC) modul in the SOEP-IS 2018 administered to individuals 40 years and older, we focus on the associations between AARC and socio-economic indicators such as gender, SES, and living conditions and various indicators of health and cognitive functioning both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.
Methodological Details: 10 self-report items, forming the Awareness of Age-Related Change Short Form (AARC-SF) questionnaire. All items begin with the phrase “With my increasing age, I realize that…”, followed by statements such as “my cognitive performance worsens” and “I have more appreciation for relationships and other people”.
