Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Poster Description
Reese, Kate, B.A., May 2014 PsychologyA Qualitative Study of Successful Aging in Older Adults: An Examination of Emotion GoalsFaculty Mentor: Gyda SwaneyThe purpose of this study, as informed by the socioemotional selectivity theory, was to examine what emotion goals are and how they lead to successful aging from the perspective of older adults. Additionally, this study aimed to develop a definition of successful aging that is representative of older adults’ perspectives. This was conducted using an adaptation of the PhotoVoice technique as well as with qualitative interviews. Thirteen individuals, all of whom range between the old-old (70-79 years) and very-old (80 years and above) ages, took a photograph of what, in their own perspective, successful aging means. The photograph was then discussed in an individual interview. The interview also examined the details of what emotion goals are, how emotion goals are achieved, and how they lead to successful aging. The data from the interviews and photographs is currently under analysis. The expected results of the study include a deeper understanding of factors that lead to successful aging and, subsequently, a holistic definition of successful aging that is representative of older adults’ perspectives and experiences. This knowledge will benefit the aging baby boom generation by combating negative stereotypes, aligning expectations about aging, and outlining specific factors that can lead to successful aging.Keywords: successful aging, socioemotional selectivity theory, emotion goals, aging
