| Annotation | A study of memory complaints (as measured by the selected sub-scales of the Metamemory in Adulthood Questionnaire) and its context was conducted with 179 older Dutch people. A path analysis showed that memory complaints influence coping behaviour through memory-related anxiety and perceived seriousness of complaints, and that both memory complaints and coping influence well-being. Locus of control was found to be the most important antecedent variable in the model. (RH). |
