向老年的过渡往往与失去控制、抑郁和自尊心下降有关。然而，从最近的年龄比较研究中开始出现不同的情况。横截面和纵向研究结果从两个较大的研究中的年龄范围从中年到成年后期，这表明，老年人，而被感知的年龄相关的发展损失，是相当有效的保持控制感和积极的自我和个人发展的看法。有人认为，明显的弹性老化的自我取决于两个基本过程之间的相互作用：（1）工具性活动，旨在防止或减轻发展损失的领域，是有关个人的自尊和身份;（2）自我评价的个人目标和框架的调整，以行动资源和功能能力的变化的解释过程。证据是支持的假设，随着年龄的增长，decerative过程变得越来越重要的方面的应对和生活管理。
The transition to old age has often been related to loss of control, depression, and lowered self-esteem. A different picture, however, begins to emerge from recent age-comparative studies. Cross-sectional and longitudinal findings from two larger studies in the age range from middle to late adulthood are presented which indicate that elderly people, while being perceptive of age-related developmental losses, are quite effective in maintaining a sense of control and a positive view of self and personal development. It is argued that the apparent resiliency of the aging self hinges on the interplay between two basic processes: (1) instrumental activities that aim at preventing or alleviating developmental losses in domains that are relevant to the individual's self-esteem and identity; (2) accommodative processes by which personal goals and frames of self-evaluation are adjusted to changes in action resources and functional capacities. Evidence is presented in support of the assumption that with advancing age, accommodative processes become increasingly important aspects of coping and life-management.
