Effects of the intervention on mental health and physical health in the generativity and control groups. Mean pre-intervention, immediately post-intervention, and 2-month follow-up scores are depicted for visual purposes; all analyses were ANCOVAs, examining differences between conditions on post-intervention values (for the primary aim) and differences between conditions on follow-up values (for the exploratory aim), controlling for pre-intervention values (and white/non-white race and age, if p < .1 as covariates). Mean values at pre-intervention, post- intervention, and 2-month follow-up shown for: a) Psychological distress (composite of Beck Depression Inventory, Spielberger Trait Anxiety, and Perceived Stress Scale), b) Expectations Regarding Mental Health on Expectations Regarding Aging Survey, c) Expectations Regarding Physical Health on Expectations Regarding Aging Survey, and d) Participation in physical activities on the Lifestyle Activities Questionnaire. Error bars depict the standard error of the mean. Asterisks reflect p-values of p < .05 from the reported ANCOVA analyses.
