Abstract | Investigates demographic and psychological predictors of 58 older adults' successful adjustment to a nursing home. Findings suggest that demographic variables were not effective predictors of successful adjustment. Perceived self-efficacy accounted for more of the unique variance in adjustment than locus of control. Discusses results in the context of improving resident adjustment. (Author/MKA) |
