Abstract

ABSTRACT According to socioemotional selectivity theory, older adults may attend a falls prevention program due to social-emotional rather than health-related factors. Within a prospective design, N = 174 participants completed a questionnaire (T1) assessing social identification with the training group, risk perception, outcome expectancies, self-efficacy beliefs, intention, health status and form of housing. At follow-up six month later (T2), n = 125 participants provided information on training attendance. A multiple regression analysis with form of housing as moderator revealed that social identification predicted attendance, but only for those participants living alone (β = .87, p < .001). Health-related predictors were not associated with attendance.

预防跌倒在一起:社会认同对参与以团体为基础的锻炼计划的老年人很重要

摘要根据社会情感选择性理论，老年人参加跌倒预防计划可能是由于社会情感因素，而不是健康因素。在前瞻性设计中，N=174名参与者完成了一份问卷（T1），评估对培训组的社会认同、风险感知、预期结果、自我效能信念、意图、健康状况和住房形式。在六个月后（T2）的随访中，n=125名参与者提供了培训出席情况的信息。以住房形式为调节因素的多元回归分析显示，社会认同可以预测出勤率，但仅适用于那些独居的参与者（β=.87，p<.001）。健康相关的预测因素与出勤率无关。
