There are ways to dispel negative stereotypes. Some studies suggest beneficial effects on physical and/or mental health by resisting negative age stereotypes or maintaining an optimistic attitude (Wurm & Benyamini, 2014). Such a positive attitude could result in an increased life expectancy. It is in this context that Moody (1988), has argued in favor of the notion that gerontology should offer an “emancipatory discourse,” with a positive idea of aging as a movement toward freedom beyond domination (autonomy, wisdom, transcendence).

Moody, H. R. (1988). Toward a critical gerontology: The contribution of the humanities to theories of aging. Emergent theories of aging, 19-40.
Wurm, S., & Benyamini, Y. (2014). Optimism buffers the detrimental effect of negative self-perceptions of ageing on physical and mental health. Psychology & Health, 29(7), 832-848.

As is common knowledge, a CSSA applicant must pass both the asset and income tests. Can the two tests be seen as resources or activities when using the logical model?

Please assist me in distinguishing between short-term and long-term outcomes. Consider the Self-reliance Program as an illustration.

Integrated Employment Assistance Programme for Self-reliance (IEAPS) statistics are being read by me. And I discovered that between April 1, 2017, and March 31, 2020, 25% of service receivers had found job or had gone back to regular education for at least one month. Then, may I declare that it is a software output?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
