Engagement in senior centers has been found to facilitate older adult healthy aging and quality of life. Among all older adults, the young-old aged 60 to 74 are less likely to participate in a senior center than old-old seniors 75 years of age and over. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of self-perception of aging, social isolation, and sex on the young-old's choice to participate in a senior center. The study addressed gaps in the literature relative to senior center use among the young-old. The study used a quantitative research methodology and a nonexperimental correlational design. The research population consisted of the young-old residing in a county within the Northeastern region of the United States. The sample included the young-old who attend senior centers and the young-old who do not attend a senior center. The majority of the sample population was female, single or living alone, primarily of Latino ethnicity, and of African American or Black racial background. Data analysis included descriptive analysis of the study variables as well as hypotheses testing through logistic regression analysis and model diagnostics. In the descriptive segment of the analysis, a comparison was conducted to identify differences in aging perception subscales, social isolation, and sex depending on participation in a senior center. The logistic regression analysis aimed at predicting choice to attend a senior center based on the aging perception, social isolation, and sex variables. The researcher used the Brief Aging Perceptions Questionnaire to measure self-perception of aging and a survey questionnaire to collect self-reported demographic information and data with regard to participation in a senior center. The results indicated decreased probability of engagement in a senior center by the young-old who have an overall positive self-perception of aging. This finding reinforces the social identity theory framework connecting an individual's social identity and their choice of group membership. The study results additionally indicated decreased probability of engagement in a senior center among men. In relation to social isolation, neither group of the young-old was found to be socially isolated. Social isolation was therefore unrelated to the engagement of the young-old in a senior center. The research findings have implications for the aging field within the human services sector. The aging field can build on the study findings to create strategies to effectively reach and engage the young-old in senior centers.
