Abstract

The present study examines the links between personality traits, leisure activities, and memory in older adults after controlling for leisure activities and demographic factors. The research sample consisted of 24,930 individuals aged 65 to 101 years from 27 European countries (43.2% men and 56.8% women). Data from the 7th Wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe was analyzed. Memory was assessed using a modified version of Rey’s Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT). Personality traits were assessed using the BFI-10 Personality Traits Questionnaire. Data analysis revealed that personality traits such as openness to experience and neuroticism allow for the prediction of memory capacity in older adulthood. These relationships remained significant even after controlling for cognitively stimulating leisure activities and age. These results show that personality traits such as neuroticism and openness to experience might be valuable in predicting memory functioning among older adults.

老年人人格特征、休闲活动和记忆表现之间的关系

本研究在控制了休闲活动和人口因素后，探讨了老年人的人格特征、休闲活动和记忆之间的联系。研究样本包括来自27个欧洲国家的24,930名年龄在65至101岁之间的人(43.2%为男性，56.8%为女性)。分析了欧洲第七次健康、老龄化和退休调查的数据。记忆评估使用雷伊听觉语言学习测试(RAVLT)的改进版本。采用BFI-10人格特征问卷进行人格特征评估。数据分析显示，开放性和神经质等性格特征可以用来预测老年人的记忆能力。即使在控制了刺激认知的休闲活动和年龄之后，这些关系仍然很重要。这些结果表明，神经质和经验开放性等人格特征可能对预测老年人的记忆功能有价值。
