Measuring Successful Aging in Southern Black Older Adults
Troutman, Meredith; Nies, Mary A.; Bentley, Monica
Educational Gerontology, v37 n1 p38-50 2011
With the growing size of the population of aging Black individuals, it is important to understand successful aging in this group. This study, therefore, piloted the Successful Aging Inventory (SAI) with a convenience sample of Black older adults. Participants completed a demographic form, the SAI, Purpose in Life Test, Life Satisfaction Inventory-A, Mastery Scale, and Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Internal reliability and convergent and discriminant validity were acceptable. The SAI appears suitable for examining successful aging in Black older adults. (Contains 4 tables.)
