Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study was to examine the role of gerotranscendence when one experiences a negative life event during one’s old age. Three follow-up surveys spanning six years were conducted with elderly persons in their 70s and 80s as the subjects. As results, it was found that 1) A gerotranscendence development is promoted through the experience of separation from one’s spouse through death as well as caregiving experience ; and 2) The experience of gerotranscendence prior to experiencing a family member suffering from major illness will have a protective effect on the psychological health deterioration that occurs during this experience. However, events that can facilitate gerotranscendence are limited, with events in which the preventative effect of gerotranscendence had been confirmed also being limited. In the future, gerotranscendence needs to be studied in more detail by focusing on negative events in relation to which gerotranscendence is shown to be effective.
