SummaryForty agoraphobics had individual exposure treatment over a period of 28 weeks and were followed up for two years. Outcome in the 27 married patients was as favourable as that in the 13 single patients. However, among the married patients greater improvement occurred in those with better initial marital and sexual adjustment although even those with poor initial marital adjustment improved significantly during treatment and maintained that improvement during follow-up. Good initial work adjustment and social adjustment were also predictive of particularly good outcome. Reduction of phobias was accompanied by stable or improved marital, sexual, social and work adjustment.

Bidirectional Associations

Abstract. Background: Previous studies point to a potential relationship between self-perceptions of aging (SPA) and cognitive performance. However, most of these studies are limited by their experimental design. Previous longitudinal studies looked solely at memory as an outcome variable without examining the directionality of effects. The present study examines the direction of effects between two domains of SPA (personal growth and physical losses) and processing speed (PS). Methods: The sample consists of 8,198 participants of the German Ageing Survey (DEAS), aged between 40 and 93 years. A cross-lagged path model was estimated to examine directions of relationships across 3 years via chi-squared difference tests for each domain of SPA. Results: In the unconstrained models, the effect of SPA domain personal growth in 2008 on PS in 2011 and vice versa were marginally significant. For SPA domain physical losses, the effect of SPA on PS was significant, whereas the other direction of the effect did not reach significance. However, the cross-lagged paths of both domains of SPA on PS and vice versa could be set equal without a significant loss of model fit. The resulting associations indicate a significant bidirectional relationship between both domains of SPA and PS. Discussion and conclusion: This study provides initial evidence that SPA can influence trajectories of cognitive decline and vice versa. The results emphasize the detrimental and beneficial effects that stereotypes can have on individuals and add further evidence to the theory of stereotype embodiment.

Zusammenfassung. Die deutschsprachigen Versionen der Selbstbeurteilungsfragebögen “Persönliche Reifung nach Belastungen“ (PRB) und “Posttraumatische Persönliche Reifung“ (PPR) werden vorgestellt und teststatistisch überprüft. Der PRB-Fragebogen ist eindimensional, während der PPR-Fragebogen fünf Subskalen umfaßt: Neue Möglichkeiten, Beziehungen zu Anderen, Persönliche Stärken, Wertschätzung des Lebens und Religiöse Veränderungen. Die untersuchte Stichprobe (N = 141; MAlter = 37.5 Jahre, SD = 17.8, Altersbereich 19-78 Jahre; 63.8% weiblich) setzt sich aus Teilstichproben älterer Studenten mit schweren Lebensereignissen sowie Patienten aus internistischen Kliniken zusammen. Es werden Angaben zur Reliabilität, faktoriellen und diskriminanten Validität der beiden Fragebögenversionen gemacht, die die Faktorenstruktur der englischsprachigen Originalversionen weitgehend bestätigen. Beide Fragebögen korrelieren sehr hoch miteinander. Zur externen Validierung der Fragebögen wurden Bewältigungsstrategien, wahrgenommene soziale Unterstützung, Symptome der Posttraumatischen Belastungsreaktion sowie die soziale Erwünschtheit untersucht. Aufgrund von theoretischen und faktorstrukturellen Gesichtspunkten wird die Verwendung des fünf Dimensionen erfassenden PPR-Fragebogens empfohlen. Offene Probleme der Validierung werden abschließend diskutiert.
