Objective: Elderly people’s success in attaining rehabilitation goals may be heavily dependent on their achievement motive, but research has not identified the factors that impact on achievement motive or suggested any effective interventions to enhance it. This study demonstrated the effects of personality traits, theories of intelligence, and other factors on achievement motive among community-dwelling elderly people. Methods: The dataset consisted of questionnaire responses from 281 elderly people in day-service or day-care centers. A hypothetical model, based on previous research, proposed that achievement motive would be affected by personality traits, theory of intelligence, and other factors (such as drinking and smoking habits, going out for activities, marital status, and hobbies); that personality traits would have some effect on the theory of intelligence and other factors; and that the theory of intelligence would affect personal factors. The hypothetical model was analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach. Results: The model was modified by removing statistically insignificant paths to achievement motive. The modified model exhibited an excellent fit and showed that achievement motive was affected by personality traits, going out for activities, and marital status (although, surprisingly, single people had stronger achievement motive). The model had an adjusted R2 of 0.593 (P < 0.001) for achievement motive. Conclusion: The results indicated that three of the Big Five personality traits (extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness to experience) tend to enhance elderly people’s motivation to achieve their goals; moreover, going out more frequently and being single were also associated with achievement motive.

Aims: This study aimed to validate the Assessment of Positive Occupation 15 (APO-15) by differential item functioning (DIF) and differential test functioning (DTF).Method: Participants were to obtain research cooperation from individual clinics, community healthcare institutions, and home-visit rehabilitation services. The inclusion criteria for participants were people between the ages of 20 and 90 years who were diagnosed with mental illness, physical illness, or geriatric illness and agreed to participate in the study. In this study, the face sheet and APO-15 were distributed to the participants, and they were asked to respond.Results: A total of 3003 participants were included in this study. The mean age was 67.41 (±16.63) years (≥ 75; 1168 and ≤ 74; 1835). Regarding the gender of participants, 1565 were males and 1438 were females. Considering illness, 1184 participants had a mental illness, 897 had a physical illness, and 922 had a geriatric illness. The results of the DIF and DTF suggested that the APO-15 did not differ in the response pattern of the scale due to the influence of subgroups (illness, gender, and age).Conclusion: The APO-15 suggests the potential to provide measurement results with a good level of scale validity and robustness.
