Self-presentational concerns and their sequelae are not unique to the young. Considerable research suggests that older adults are also motivated to engage in strategic self-presentation. This article reviews evidence that numerous self-presentational concerns of older adults stem from age- and health-related changes and are associated with concerns about one's physical appearance, being perceived as competent and self-reliant, and ascribing to behavioral norms. For each of these areas, self-presentational concerns and impression management strategies are identified. In addition, the implications of using a self-presentational approach to examine the physical and psychological well-being of older individuals are discussed.
