Bell T, et al. - In order to inform methods of early identification of cognitive impairment, researchers examined how problems in subjective executive function are affected by the temperament and personality traits. The current project included two samples of community-dwelling older adults (65+ years, n₁ = 25, n₂ = 50). Greater difficulty in subjective executive function was reported among older adults higher in negative affect, and among older adults with higher neuroticism and lower conscientiousness. Findings thereby suggest an association of distressful inclinations with more reported problems in executive function whereas there was an inverse association of problem-solving tendencies.
