Perceived control over one’s health. Similar to self-efficacy,
locus of control refers to the sense of how much control
a person has relative to his/her external environment. Although
studies have found no uniform change in perceived control of
health with aging, environmental and social factors can affect
one’s sense of control over one’s own health. Ageist stereotypes,
such as incompetence, disability, frailty, senility,
inactivity, and decline, are all detrimental to elders’ sense of
control. Control-enhancing interventions have resulted in improved
alertness, energy, mood, memory, and self-reported
satisfaction.
