Abstract

The present study examined the reciprocal relationships between PTSD symptoms and subjective age in a longitudinal design, and how theses variables predict successful aging. 132 older adults (T1 age range=50-87, mean age=65.84, SD=9.12) from the south of Israel were interviewed three times across a period of two years and four months (2014-2016). T1 PTSD symptoms predicted an older subjective age at T2, whereas the reverse relationship was non-significant. Moreover, higher PTSD symptoms and an older subjective age at T2 predicted lower successful aging at T3. In addition to clarifying the temporal sequencing of PTSD and subjective age, the study further suggests that PTSD and subjective age identity could each render middle-aged and older adults more susceptible to less successful aging
