摘要：Population aging is a major challenge for global companies. The Selection, Optimization and Compensation Model proposed by the team of Baltes, is a way to explain ways to adapt to the difficulties of everyday life and the late stage of development deficits (aging). The study, which enables a PhD Thesis, is derived from discussions carried out during construction, and aims to demonstrate the validity of measures, reliability and convergent analysis of the Brazilian version of the instrument. It is conducted with 319 elderly aged 60 and 99 years old (71.4 ± 8.1), with a predominance of women (70.8%), married (40.1%) or widowed (30.1%) using medications (81.5%), with at least one health problem (79.0%) and physically active (42.9%). Even if the psychometric tests need to be worked out with continuity, with satisfactory levels of validity, internal consistency and convergent analysis, it demonstrates that the SOC model is potentially helpful to understand how the Brazilian elderly adapt to their problems of the day-a-day and processed successfully aging.
