This correlational, nonexperimental study examined the relationships among gerotranscendence, gender, age, status as a senior companion volunteer or agency client, presence of social support in the home, perceptions toward aging, and perception of health in older adults participating in a senior companion program. The sample included 68 senior companion volunteers and 48 agency clients.

520 $a This correlational, nonexperimental study examined the relationships among gerotranscendence, gender, age, status as a senior companion volunteer or agency client, presence of social support in the home, perceptions toward aging, and perception of health in older adults participating in a senior companion program. The sample included 68 senior companion volunteers and 48 agency clients.
520 $a Results indicated that the progression of gerotranscendence was not related to gender (t (114) = -.321, p=.749), age (F (3,115) = .009, p=.99), status as volunteer or client (t (114) = -.297, p=.749) or presence of social support in the home (t (114) = -.163, p=.104). There was a positive correlation between progression of gerotranscendence scores and perceptions of aging scores (r=.435, p=.01) and perception of health status scores (r=.381, p=.01). Perceptions of aging scores were positively correlated with perception of health scores (r=.644, p=.01). A stepwise multiple regression revealed that a positive perception of aging was the best predictor of gerotranscendence progression scores (R2 = .189, p<.001).
520 $a The theory of gerotranscendence is a developmental theory which describes how individuals progress into old age and can provide a blueprint for the changes that may occur with aging. Findings of this study support Tornstam's claim that the developmental progression of aging described by the theory of gerotranscendence is healthy and positive.
