摘要：

Many people are apprehensive about old age and their future years. This pilot study sought to improve participants' sense of possibility in, and expectations for, old age. Students and middle-aged volunteers completed a survey including the Expectations Regarding Aging 38-item questionnaire (ERA-38) and a possible-selves questionnaire before and after a positive-aging-intervention presentation. While there were no significant possible-selves changes, respondents demonstrated an improvement in expectations about aging. This study demonstrates the potential for a brief positive aging intervention to impact expectations for the future. Implications for decision making and health choices are discussed.
