Abstract
Ninety-nine community living older adults (49 men and 50 women, mean age = 65.9 years) and 96 younger adults (35 men and 61 women, mean age = 22.5 years) completed a measure of attachment styles (RQ) reminiscence functions (RFS) and happiness (MUNSH). Results indicated a main effect for both age (older higher) and attachment style (Secure and Dismissive higher) on happiness. Six of eight reminiscence functions were significantly correlated with the MUNSH. Attachment style predicted reminiscence functions for four of eight RFS factors: Securely attached individuals scored significantly higher on the Teach/Inform factor and significantly lower on the Bitterness Revival, Identity and Problem-Solving factors than insecure groups.
