The National Institute on Aging, NIH, Gerontology Research Center intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with the Susquehanna University. The University will recruit 500 adult volunteers, aged 21 to 80, including spouse pairs, to provide self-report and observer rating personality data. Administer a standard meaure of the Five-Factor Model of personality together with a set of personality items designed for use by individuals with limited literacy. Collect data on age, education, and psychological well-being. Maintain address files to allow respondent tracing. Score all tests and entered de-identified data onto a computer file; the computer file will be provided to Laboratory of Personality and Cognition (LPC)investigators with documentation and supporting materials to allow LPC investigators to analyze these data. These data would provide information on item functioning and age trends in this age group.
