Ecological Factors Influencing Decision-Making Among Middle-Aged and Older Adults: A Neurocognitive Approach
The findings underscore the significant roles of marital status and living contexts in shaping psychological well-being, social interactions, and stress in middle-aged and older adults. Decision-making appears less directly influenced by ecological contexts, indicating potential resilience due to life experience. Future research should employ longitudinal designs and broader samples to enhance understanding and generalizability.
