Knowledge and
self-regulation in
retired professional
and non-professional
older adults
- Abstract
- While various psychosocial variables, involved in post-retirement adaptation, were investigated,
enough attention has not been paid to the role of expert knowledge. This research aims to compare
life goals of professional and non-professional older adults since their retirement, and to analyze the
relationship between the expert knowledge and the self-regulation strategies, in order to empirically
evaluate the Berlin Group model. A cross-correlational design was used, with a sample of 258
participants, retirees, divided into two groups: professionals and non-professionals. Differences were
found in the selection of life goals between both groups and it became clear that expert knowledge
was associated with increased use of optimization and compensation strategies. The non-professional
group used the compensation strategy more than the other group, and the professional group
presented a significantly higher performance in expert knowledge than the non-professional group.

- objective and research question
- analyze the relationship between the study variables according to the groups
- What are the differences in expert knowledge and self-regulation strategies in the retirement
retirement of professional and non-professional senior citizens?
- justification raised by the authors
- Baltes and Freund (2007) argue that expert knowledge and SOC strategies, when operated together,
lead to the adaptation and development of human potential. This hypothesis is based on the
reciprocal relationship between SOC strategies and expert knowledge. Learning to select goals,
optimize them and compensate losses in such a way that they help to obtain an adaptive
development should facilitate an adjustment of more appropriate goals for a person or life stage and
in a determined socio-historical context.
- logical or realistic positivist approach
- Poses hypotheses to predict, check or verify
- the elaboration and verification of conclusions, using techniques to
extract meanings from the data
- it is quantifiable and uses statistics for verification, descriptive statistics tests to characterize the variables of
study and inferential statistics according to the type of distribution of the variables
- characteristics
- It is generalizable because it says that people with greater knowledge have a greater possibility of selecting
among a wide variety of heterogeneous goals and interests
- included, reduction, data availability and obtaining categories
- It is objective because it studies the comparison that exists in the life goals from the retirement retreat in
professional and non-professional older adults
