本研究探讨了老年人在面临进行性和不可逆性视力丧失时的发育调节。我们使用寿命发展的激励理论作为一个概念框架，在364名被诊断为老年性黄斑变性的老年人样本中，考察了老年人在努力控制日常目标实现方面的变化，以及它们与情感幸福感的关系。使用6个月间隔的5次纵向数据，我们检验了个体内部控制策略的变化，以及它如何与情感幸福感的变化有关，就自我幸福感和抑郁症状而言。混合模型分析证实了我们的假设：(A)个体内部的变化，特别是在选择性主要控制和补偿性次级控制(CSC)中，预测朝着更高的幸福度和更低的抑郁的变化；以及(B)随着功能能力(日常生活的工具性活动)的下降，CSC越来越能预测更好的情感幸福感。总体而言，研究结果表明，当身体机能下降时，CSC策略对于维持情感幸福感至关重要。强化选择性的主要控制努力可能会有效地实现那些已经变得难以实现但与情感幸福无关的目标，可能是因为与困难作斗争破坏了愉快的掌握体验。相比之下，目标调整和自我保护思维可能有助于从受限的日常活动中找到快乐。
The present study addresses older adults’ developmental regulation when faced with progressive and irreversible vision loss. We used the motivational theory of life span development as a conceptual framework and examined changes in older adults’ striving for control over everyday goal achievement, and their association with affective well-being, in a sample of 364 older adults diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration. Using longitudinal data from 5 occasions at 6-month intervals, we examined intraindividual change in control strategies, and how it was related to change in affective well-being, in terms of self-rated happiness and depressive symptoms. Mixed model analyses confirmed our hypotheses that (a) intraindividual change, particularly in selective primary control and in compensatory secondary control (CSC), predict change toward higher happiness ratings and lower depression; and (b) as functional abilities (instrumental activities of daily living) declined, CSC became increasingly predictive of better affective well-being. Overall, the findings suggest that CSC strategies are essential for maintaining affective well-being when physical functioning declines. Intensified selective primary control striving may be effective to achieve goals that have become difficult to reach but are not associated with affective well-being, possibly because struggling with difficulties undermines the experience of enjoyable mastery. In contrast, goal adjustments and self-protective thinking may help to find pleasure even from restricted daily activities.
