AAQ: Attitudes to Ageing Questionnaire.
The values on the diagonal are means (with standard deviations in parentheses). Higher scores denote higher measures of the construct. Benefits factors: Restoration = factor 1; Attachment = factor 2; Physical = factor 3; Spiritual = factor 4; Social = factor 5; Identity = factor 6; Purpose = factor 7; Shared gardening = factor 8; AAQ Growth = AAQ Psychological Growth; AAQ Change = AAQ Physical Change; AAQ Loss = AAQ Psychosocial Loss.
