Reminiscentia: Cherished Objects as Memorabilia in Late-Life Reminiscence.
Sherman, Edmund
International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v33 n2 p89-100 1991
Surveyed 100 older adults to determine kinds of memorabilia and cherished objects they would identify and how these were related to reminiscence and current mood as measured by Affect-Balance Scale. Found significant positive relationship between memorabilia and mood; total lack of cherished objects was associated with significantly lower mood scores. (Author/NB)
