One hundred and fifty older adults, aged 60-93years old, completed the Adult Dispositional Hope Scale developed by Snyder etal. [1991, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 60, pp. 570-585], and the Adaptation to Old Age Questionnaire developed by Efklides etal. [2003, European Psychologist, 8, pp. 178-191]. Factor analyses revealed 2 factors for hope, "Pathways Thought” and "Agency Thinking”, and 4 factors for adaptation to old age, "Health Comparison”, "General Adaptation/Self-Efficacy”, "Self-Control”, and "Generativity”. Regression analyses showed that hope as pathways thought predicted all factors of adaptation, whereas hope as agency thinking predicted only "General Adaptation/Self-Efficacy” and "Self-Control”. There were also some effects of gender, education, marital status, place of residence, and health status on specific aspects of adaptation to old age.
