Cynical over 65s more likely to develop dementia
If you've reached the age that you can call yourself a senior citizen, the likelihood of your developing dementia is greater, the more negative your thoughts about other people are. Finnish neurologists came to this conclusion after following nearly seven hundred people over the age of 65 for eight years.
Study
The Cynical Distrust Scale consists of eight statements with which you can "completely disagree" [0 points], "somewhat disagree" [1 point], "somewhat agree" [2 points] or "completely agree" [3 points].
How cynical are you?
1. I think most people would lie to get ahead.
2. Most people are honest chiefly through fear of being caught.
3. Most people will use somewhat unfair reasons to gain profit or an advantage rather than lose it.
4. I commonly wonder what hidden reasons another person may have for doing something nice to me.
5. No one cares much what happens to you.
6. It is safer to trust nobody.
7. Most people make friends because friends are likely to be useful to them.
8. Most people inwardly dislike putting themselves out to help other people.
