本研究使用寿命控制理论（Heckhausen, J. 和 Schulz, R.）来检验老年残疾的适应能力。采用叙述性数据收集方法来评估 364 名患有黄斑变性的老年人应对日常挑战所采用的策略。调查结果揭示了一系列丰富的策略。几乎所有受访者都报告了补偿性一级控制，大多数参与者报告了补偿性二级控制，一半的参与者报告了选择性一级控制。选择性二级控制的报道最少。在涉及使用他人帮助和替代手段的策略的补偿性初级控制类别中，根据视力损伤程度而导致的策略使用差异最为明显。在选择性二级控制类别中，努力保持积极的前景与较高的损伤水平相关，而在补偿性二级控制类别中，尝试不去关注与视力相关的问题与较低的损伤水平相关。讨论了概念发展和未来研究的意义。
This study used the life-span theory of control (Heckhausen, J., & Schulz, R.) to examine adaptation to disability in old age. A narrative approach to data collection was used to assess the strategies employed by 364 older adults with macular degeneration to deal with daily challenges. Findings revealed a rich array of strategies. Compensatory Primary Control was reported by nearly all respondents, Compensatory Secondary Control by a majority, and Selective Primary Control by half of the participants. Selective Secondary Control was the least reported. Differences in strategy use depending on level of vision impairment were the most pronounced within the category of Compensatory Primary Control for strategies that involved using help from others and alternative means. Within the category of Selective Secondary Control, effort to maintain a positive outlook was associated with higher impairment levels, whereas within the category of Compensatory Secondary Control, attempts not to dwell on problems related to vision were associated with lower impairment levels. Implications for conceptual development and future research are discussed.
