ABSTRACT
Research studies of reminiscence activity [1–4] have found a relatively high frequency of reminiscence among older adults. A wide range of benefits, including self-esteem development, psychological well-being, and adaptive functioning, have been attributed to the frequency of reminiscence [5, 6] and its related therapeutic effects [3–6]. The significance of the adaptive function of reminiscence has been operationalized in a number of studies through the relationship between frequency of reminiscence and levels of life-satisfaction, psychological well-being, purpose for living, and activities of daily living.
