Abstract

In the life review process, individuals engage in meaning making, and this often entails a reversal of judgment of the events in their lives including turning points. This study examined older adults’ current judgment of turning point events as being positive, negative, or neutral over time (then and now). These results suggest that individuals who are able to overcome adversity, and to retell their life stories in a positive way, are more likely to have higher life satisfaction and to illustrate gaining wisdom.
