OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate psychological correlates of self-rated resilience, as assessed with the 10-item version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), in older adults. In particular, we were interested in the degree to which self-rated resilience might be a protective factor against cognitive decline. METHOD In total, 100 adults aged 60-90 years who had been referred because of subjective cognitive concerns completed self-report measures of resilience, symptoms of anxiety and depression, and satisfaction with life. They also completed a test of learning and memory. Ratings about daily functioning at home and in the community were obtained from both participants and proxy informants. RESULTS Resilience ratings correlated strongly negatively with concurrent self-rated symptoms of anxiety and depression, and strongly positively with self-rated life satisfaction. However, only informant ratings of daily functioning correlated with actual participant performance on a test of learning and memory, with lower ratings being associated with worse test performance. CONCLUSIONS Self-rated resilience, as measured by the CD-RISC-10, is primarily related to subjective well-being and does not inform sufficiently about relative risk for cognitive dysfunction in older adults.

老年人主观认知问题背景下自评复原力的心理相关性。

目的 本研究的目的是评估老年人自评复原力的心理相关性，采用 10 项版本的康纳-戴维森复原力量表 (CD-RISC-10) 进行评估。我们特别感兴趣的是自评复原力在多大程度上可能成为防止认知能力下降的保护因素。方法 总共 100 名因主观认知问题而被转介的 60-90 岁成年人完成了自我报告的心理弹性、焦虑和抑郁症状以及生活满意度测量。他们还完成了学习和记忆测试。关于家庭和社区日常功能的评分是从参与者和代理信息提供者那里获得的。结果 复原力评级与同时存在的焦虑和抑郁自评症状呈强烈负相关，与自评生活满意度呈强烈正相关。然而，只有线人对日常功能的评分与参与者在学习和记忆测试中的实际表现相关，较低的评分与较差的测试表现相关。结论 通过 CD-RISC-10 测量的自评复原力主要与主观幸福感相关，并且不能充分说明老年人认知功能障碍的相对风险。
