老龄化与援助需求的增加有关。未来护理准备（PFC）与老年人应对能力的提高以及更好的身心健康结果有关。我们研究了老年人中乐观与PFC成分的关系。我们还探讨了种族差异之间的关系乐观和PFC。在研究1中，多元回归显示，乐观是积极的具体规划。在研究2中，乐观与收集信息有关。结合样本的探索性分析产生了种族的相互作用：白人更乐观，但黑人更乐观与更多的计划。在某些社会和文化背景下，高度乐观可能会成为未来规划的障碍。
Aging is associated with an increase in need for assistance. Preparation for future care (PFC) is related to improved coping ability as well as better mental and physical health outcomes among older adults. We examined the association of optimism with components of PFC among older adults. We also explored race differences in the relationship between optimism and PFC. In Study 1, multiple regression showed that optimism was positively related to concrete planning. In Study 2, optimism was related to gathering information. An exploratory analysis combining the samples yielded a race interaction: For Whites higher optimism, but for Blacks lower optimism was associated with more planning. High optimism may be a barrier to future planning in certain social and cultural contexts.
