This study examined the content and structure of psychosocial preferences in older adults using the statistical technique known as concept mapping. Results suggest two underlying dimensions to psychosocial preferences (Enrichment-self-maintenance and extrapersonal-interpersonal) and six distinct content domains (social contact, growth activities, leisure activities, self-dominion, support aids, and caregivers and care). Both the dimensions and the content domains provide valuable information for the construction of psychosocial preference instruments. They also might assist formal and informal caregivers in tailoring their interventions to provide individualized care that enhances quality of life for older adults.
