Measuring awareness of age-related change: development of a 10-item short form for use in large-scale surveys

Existing measures of subjective aging have been useful in predicting developmental outcomes. Unlike other constructs of subjective aging, Awareness of Age-Related Change (AARC) focuses on how adults’ self-perceptions of aging result in an awareness of age-related gains and losses.
