Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Increasing understanding of the neurocognitive correlates of resilience in late-life depression (LLD) could inform interventions to promote more sustained remission. We investigated cross-sectional relations between baseline resilience and domains of neurocognitive functioning in depressed older adults enrolled in one of four trials. METHODS: Participants (N = 288) completed neurocognitive tests of memory, language performance, and executive functioning as well as measures of subjective memory performance and components of resilience (grit, active coping self-efficacy, accommodative coping self-efficacy, and spirituality). RESULTS: Medium-sized associations were observed between greater resilience (overall resilience, accommodative coping) and lower frequency of self-reported forgetting. Small positive associations were observed between language performance and total resilience, active coping self-efficacy, and accommodative coping self-efficacy. Small negative associations were observed between spirituality and each objective measure of cognitive performance. CONCLUSION: Future longitudinal studies will help elucidate the complex relation between resilience and cognitive functioning in LLD. In addition, randomized controlled trials targeting coping self-efficacy may inform the development of more effective and personalized interventions.
