Understanding deception in old age: specifics and predictors
Journal Title: Neurodynamics. Журнал клинической психологии и психиатрии - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The article shows that in the senile (76-90 years) compared with the elderly (55-60 and 61-74 years), there are marked changes in the ability to make pragmatic interpretations, i.e. to understand and interpret non-literal statements in the form of deception. It is shown that in late life there are no difficulties in understanding the social situation and the ability to draw conclusions about false beliefs of only one person (representation of the "first order"). In the elderly (61-74 years) and se-nile (75-90 years), there are difficulties in understanding what one per-son thinks about the intentions, beliefs of another person (representa-tions of the "second order"). The phenomenon of emotional-egocentric shift in the understanding of deception at a late age is described. Com-mon predictors of deception understanding are identified: socio-demographic (level of education) and psychological (symptoms of de-pression, feeling of loneliness, satisfaction with the quality of life, subjec-tive age). Also age-specific predictors: changes in family, working status, cognitive functioning and polymorbidity.
