Positive Ageing and Creative Resilience

Abstract

Abstract Chapter 11 focuses on Orchestra players’ self-evaluation of their skills and abilities (motor, inner hearing, inter-musical, and intra-musical), mood and emotion (Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, PANAS), as well as stress in orchestral life. Then, a behavioural inventory of positive ageing, including an assessment of Life-Longing (i.e., regretful sentiment for a solo career lost) and Life Management in the Occupational Domain, is presented. Feelings of success, reaching potential, and satisfaction in the occupational domain are detailed. These include details of Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (SOC), as well as indices of Occupational Burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory, MBI). A newly developed conceptual model of Successful Positive Ageing is presented. Then, Creative Resilience is outlined. Finally, the social circle involving currently employed players as well as retired players was implemented—specifically looking at incidence of Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
