年龄越大，慈善捐赠等利他行为就越多。然而，很少有研究调查了老年人金融利他主义的认知相关性。本研究在以社区为基础的老年人样本中，利用利他选择范式调查了金融利他主义的认知相关性。在本研究中，老年人样本（N = 67； M年龄= 69.21,SD = 11.23； M受教育年数= 15.97,SD = 2.51； 58.2%为女性；71.6%为非西班牙裔白人）完成了一个全面的神经心理学评估和一个利他选择范式，在这个范式中，他们决定在自己和一个匿名者之间分配金钱。在控制了年龄、教育程度和性别的多元线性回归分析中，财务利他主义与早期阿尔茨海默病敏感的认知测试（包括单词列表学习和回忆、延迟故事回忆和动物流畅性）的表现呈负相关。这项研究的发现指出，在已知对阿尔茨海默病敏感的措施中，老年人的金融利他主义与认知功能之间存在负相关关系。研究结果还指出，金融剥削风险与老年阿尔茨海默病之间存在潜在联系。
Older age is associated with an increase in altruistic behaviors such as charitable giving. However, few studies have investigated the cognitive correlates of financial altruism in older adults. This study investigated the cognitive correlates of financial altruism measured using an altruistic choice paradigm in a community-based sample of older adults. In the present study, a sample of older adults (N = 67; M age = 69.21, SD = 11.23; M education years = 15.97, SD = 2.51; 58.2% female; 71.6% Non-Hispanic White) completed a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and an altruistic choice paradigm in which they made decisions about allocating money between themselves and an anonymous person. In multiple linear regression analyses that controlled for age, education, and sex, financial altruism was negatively associated with performance on cognitive measures typically sensitive to early Alzheimer’s disease (including word list learning and recall, delayed story recall, and animal fluency). Findings of this study point to a negative relationship between financial altruism and cognitive functioning in older adults on measures known to be sensitive to Alzheimer’s disease. Findings also point to a potential link between financial exploitation risk and Alzheimer’s disease in older age.
