Nascimento, Marcelo de Maio; Marques, Adilson; Gouveia, Elvio; Ferrari, Gerson; Ihle, AndreasThis study aimed to explore whether immediate recall, delayed recall, and verbal fluency mediated the relationship between meaning in life and depression in a large sample of older adults from 17 European countries. The study also sought to investigate potential differences in mediation trajectories by sex. The data used were from the eighth wave of the SHARE project (year 2019), involving 24,277 individuals (1...
