Evidence¶

Lundervold 2013¶

Lundervold, D. A., Ament, P. A., Holt, P. S., & Hunt, L. S. (2013). Comparison of Younger and Older Adults' Acceptability of Treatment for Generalized Anxiety Disorder Co-Occurring with Parkinson's Disease.

q3 · i0 · causal · r2

The same mixed factorial ANOVA tested age cohort as the between-subjects factor. The article reports "no difference between age groups in treatment type ratings" with F(1,13) = .009, p = .924, η2 = .000, and low observed power (.051). The authors interpret this as older adults being just as psychologically minded as younger adults.

"There was no difference between age groups in treatment type ratings ( F(1,13) = .009, p = .924, η2 = .000, observed power = .051)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Age and Developmental Stage — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

• Behavioral Relaxation Training is rated more acceptable than medication for GAD comorbid with Parkinson's disease by both younger and older adults — related
• No significant interaction between age group and treatment type in acceptability ratings — related
• Demographic and psychiatric-history variables are largely unrelated to treatment acceptability, with counseling history the exception
• Training outcomes were unrelated to tenure: no relationships were established with years employed in DCPS or years in the field of education — related
